gonna leave this world for awhile

One day about a month ago I walked down the street to get the mail and saw this old red bicycle at the curb. It was nearly noon and no one had grabbed it yet. Then I saw an old man working in the garage and walked up to him. Are you getting rid of that bicycle? I will be, as soon as you take it away with you, he answered. I love people who answer questions so cleverly. He had just put it out moments before I arrived which explained why it was still available, my luck. It has only one speed, slow, but it's perfect to cruise along the beach with on a summer day. A bit of rust to take care of, it needed some air in the tires, oil on the chain and a little love.
