IMAGE IN A DIRTY MIRROR
cool almost cold on the ride
around the seawall
and the retreating tide
seeing a comrade
in his fight against cancer
no go today
perhaps next Monday is the answer
a hot shower
gets the stink of my sweat off me
clean underwear
and note that laundry must soon
be attended to
nuke a cup of yesterdays coffee
and try to get my ducks in a row
but there is nothing to fear
seeing my image in a dirty mirror
coasting on the endorphins
from the morning ride
