Bicycle

It was a gold 10 speed Triumph
First ten speed at Central Wheel Shop
We all wanted it
Were willing to wait
Because that was the way it was done.
It had side pull brakes
Skinny tires
With an even skinnier ridge
In the middle
Leather saddle
A little tool kit that clipped underneath
On a smooth driveway
A perpetual motion machine
One pedal
8,9,10 circles
Earl died
I still see him
Riding around and around
