Biking day

With only two of us left in the box
And limited amount of space,
I'm only focusing on controlling my vehicle,
Nervous by the noise,
Almost putting my feet down,
I remember the rules and how much I want to win,
I slowly keep circling my opponent,
Then I look up,
Only to see that my opponent is struggling,
I try to keep balance,
I calm down quickly,
Push,
Brake,
Slows,
Then through a patch of surprise I swerved.


The vehicle
Moves from side to side,
Swerves,
Wobbles,
Wiggles,
Turns,
Worry’s,
Plays it coy
Until every face is open mouthed--
And then
                     And then
                                   And then,
Right before FALL,

I win.
