31st , 2011.
Made from oil rubbed steel, Mesquite dyed rawhide, and honeycomb brass;
Mike B. is Passing through the barrios of Tucson on his La Suprema 650
Bee,
en route to distant locales.
Utility, autonomy, ultimate efficiency-- Traveling by bicycle is a quiet
solitude.
___A transcendent experience of nature, machine,
and man in harmony.
_________Each fallen tree is noticed.
_________Every secret the breeze whispers
becomes conversation.
___Gears and escapements click softly in
synchronicity with crackling leaves.
The desert offers little shelter--
___A rush of polar autumn wind , cut only
by barbed wire,
___persuades nomads and travelers on to southerly
destinations. _
