Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

I prefer sonnets Mayo - you should know my structural preferences by now.
Stream of consciousness makes good here though I guess

he better not charge or Neil will want his share.
That said and read it sounds too critical and I enjoyed and more importantly was forced to think when reading the prose-I'd love to read more-

"What are the roots that clutch, what branches grow
Out of this stony rubbish? Son of man,
You cannot say, or guess, for you know only
A heap of broken images, where the sun beats,
And the dead tree gives no shelter, the cricket no relief,
And the dry stone no sound of water. Only
There is shadow under this red rock,
(Come in under the shadow of this red rock),
And I will show you something different from either
Your shadow at morning striding behind you
Or your shadow at evening rising to meet you;
I will show you fear in a handful of dust."

--From T.S. Eliot, The wasteland.

Monster Dreams

Broken bridges, dreaming tatters.
Clinging to the sides, that which matters.
Pride is the equal, of its demise.
That which is human, cannot hide.
Smile with me, I smile with you.
Open mouths, gaping wide.
But this is war, friendly war.
Passive active, aggressive lie.
Turn your head, as I walk on by.
Dreaming dreams, of you inside.


--Me. Certainly no Eliot.
