At the market the bike lane advocates have
set up a booth to encourage urban cycling and
they're giving away silver bells (I got one).
The marketplace din is punctuated
by the bright ding ding of bike bells.
Strawberries are in season!
And the egg lady is smiling and
the fair trade coffee in my travel mug
is finally the perfect temperature.
Sipping the coffee I absorb the colours and sounds
in small doses. Or try to.
I never got the hang of microdosing.
Fuck it! Suck it all in, breathe every scent, sweet and foul
trip on the greens of kale, berries red, golden honey!
Every human here is shining and beautiful
and I love them all it almost hurts but
I keep loving them even that one stealing
a ripe strawberry and yes even that one
scowling at the child with the bike bell.
This is FANTASTIC!
