= ﻿The Rider = by Naomi Shihah Nye

A boy told me if he rollerskated fast enough his loneliness couldn't catch up to him,

the best reason I ever heard for trying to be a champion.

What I wonder tonight pedaling hard down King William Street is if it translates to bicycles.

A victory! To leave your loneliness panting behing you on some street corner while you float free into a cloud of sudden azaleas, luminous pink petals that have never felt loneliness, no matter how slowly they fell.
