Schwinn frame rests on asphalt bed
Quercus rust spreads where paint has fled
Spokes extend like rhizome threads
Dormant tubes where rubber bled
Xylem chain carries silent song
Phloem gears turn slow and long
Stomata rims breathe night air deep
Cambium layers watch and keep
Chrome chlorophyll drinks the pink glow
Photosynthesis in shadow show
No soil needed for this bloom
Metal petals chase the gloom
Vittoria tires hold memory
Of highways paved with geometry
Inner tubes like xylem veins
Transport dreams through chrome remains
Xylem chain carries silent song
Phloem gears turn slow and long
Stomata rims breathe night air deep
Cambium layers watch and keep
Chrome chlorophyll drinks the pink glow
Photosynthesis in shadow show
No soil needed for this bloom
Metal petals chase the gloom
Handlebars curve like tendril reach
Seeking light on neon beach
Grip tape peels like bark in spring
Anthocyanin stains the ring
Chrome chlorophyll drinks the pink glow
Photosynthesis in shadow show
No soil needed for this bloom
Metal petals chase the gloom
Kickstand sinks in gravel loam
Finds a permanent crooked home
Derailleur rests in frozen shift
Waiting for the morning lift
Chrome chlorophyll drinks the pink glow
Photosynthesis in shadow show
No soil needed for this bloom
Metal petals chase the gloom
Dawn breaks down the motel sign
Chlorophyll fades on steel spine
But roots remain in pavement crack
Velodrome dreams don't fade to black
Chrome chlorophyll drank the pink glow
Photosynthesis stole the show
No soil needed for this bloom
Metal petals chase the gloom
Chrome chlorophyll drinks the dawn
Rust and neon carry on
Spokes turn slow in morning dew
Quercus waits for something new
