no one wants to steal my bike
is it so obvious it only cost a hundred dollars
and that i spent so many hours
starring at it with venomous spite

the jehovah's witness looks at it as a sign
of spiritual decline
as i make it squeal like a pig at a slaughter
and worried parents somewhere put an arm around their daughter

the major mechanical flaw becomes real
if you, like me, have an ass of a seal
that can bring the aluminum down to its knees
or just put the back tire between your fingers and squeeze

i haven't tried going uphill
since the leaves have fallen taking with them the a.c. bill
freezing hell as the pigs floated on by
getting from point A to point B feels like a lie
