The steel box yellow paint and rusted
the missing teeth of the rider first a smirk
then a surveying grin
slowing before the supermarket
Creaking and squealing the brakes clasped
in his thick farmhand tinkering hands
a three wheel bicycle carriage
The box almost a tailor
greasemarks on the hairy leg skin
almost sixty years on his face
Waving to the carpark observer
a bow legged toddler leapt
using the bicyle wheel to aim himself
landing softly and cheefully fresh grin
a centimeter of dried mucus above
half a drop of saliva clinging
His well kempt sister a stride after
Not to follow but to oversee
The two of them entered gleefully
