Summary: Springtime Special:<br> The arrival of spring is ever of note.<br> ⁓The Voice before the Void<br> “Biking in the Spring”<br> Steve Kosbab<br> Rolling out the wheels after a winter’s rest,<br> Inspecting all to make sure it is right.<br> Jumping on the seat,<br> Gripping the handlebars, testing the brakes.<br> Then, wow!<br> I’m off, like a dragracer or derby horse just<br> Out of the gate.<br> The wind in my face, the fresh spring air<br> Through my lungs.<br> The sun on my back.<br> Speeding, swaying, swerving<br> Right into a puddle, and down.<br> Back on my bike,<br> Riding on into summer<br> Where there are no puddles.<br>
