On the bike I was free, / sailing on the fragrance of dreams. / The hum of the freeway rattled away. / I was gliding through groves where / crusty farmers tended smudge pots to / ward off the cold. Their fruit was a product. / To me it was a dream. The fragrance of / freedom that lifted beyond its roots. It drifted / like stratus in the blue sky of my childhood. / It lifted me as I sailed, round and round, on the / wheels of freedom. // "Through Groves" - Anon.
