Thirteen People Who Want To Steal My JC Penney Bicycle

JC Penney Lightweight 5 Speed

I had a great day masquerading as a crummy day. Everything I did want to happen didn't, and everything I didn't want to happen did. This is my bicycle. I haven't had one in twenty-five years, but I couldn't pass this one up. Everything you see on here works. The headlight, the brakelight, the pump. I wrote a poem about this bicycle and I have titled it Thirteen People Who Want To Steal My JC Penney Lightweight Five Speed Bicycle. The episodes of The Alfred Hitchcock Show were re-runs. I want a lot more night. I haven't stayed up past midnight but a few times this year and it's the only time my mind really relaxes. I can't write enough words to fill up this god-blessed column and I want to eat some of the tasty things I bought today and my stomach is gorged like I swallowed a watermelon.

    There are others, but I forgot who they are. It made me feel slightly better to write that poem.

The ironic thing about how I ended this blog entry saying there were others is that I knew exactly who they were, and it's the real reason I wrote the poem, and the bicycle was my lover, and did get stolen. I guess I knew what was going to happen almost seven years ago and couldn't do anything about it.
