The Mirror on the Handlebars

A circled image of the passed–
to see what is careening,

about to overtake, thinning
and thrushing the air,

the distance behind
flattened and tunneled

into a one-dimensional
disk that I can cover

with a palm. Ahead–sky-filled
clouds and a sun

above a road
to follow.
