My biking time



My biking time

by Rebecca M. Ellis


With 15 minutes of free time
And six minutes ticking off the clock,
Starting to slow down around the corner,
Enjoying the fun,
Practising my pedal tapping for skills,
Brushing the sweat of my head,
Slowly pedal tapping among the ground,
Then I look how far I have to go
Raises the pedal to turn,
I try to keep still,
Slowly turning,
Wobbles,
balance,
Stops,
And suddenly getting deeper down,
Breathing in and out,
I stop,
Bounce off,
scared,
Worried,
Excited,
Burns,
Hurts,
Getting up,
Until everyone stops and begs to go on the track--

We wait        
   We wait   
                                                                       We wait

Right before the lights are red,

Turn and come back.
