Bike Ride

Riding my bike  along the margins of a poem, I pass the picket fenced lines,  one  ^  by  ^ one  ^  by  ^ one.  Suddenly I apply the brakes   just before the rhyming couplet. I  dismount  and retrieve a fallen metaphor lying in the path. There in my hand, I stare at it and soon look upward  to determine from which stanza it  fell. I plant the kickstand, remove my protective helmet, but just as I bend  to examine the words, they begin to fade from my palm.
