MOBILE CITY

John O. Buckley


OK, Tom Slicks. I've got a bronze-green Sunbeam. One of those
British sports bikes. A German man was going to throw it away.

Sturmey-Archer three-speed, trigger shift. Full fenders. Brooks leather
saddle. I ride it on special occasions.

Like today.

Sydney Omarr, my horoscope guy, says,“Fresh start in different direction
proves beneficial. Make room for love.”

He's warm.

Instead of heading west, I'm gladly going east. But, making room for
love? I do that every day.

That's what the banana seat is for.

Today, I'm sitting up straight and riding solo. I'm only making room for one thing.

And when I get to where I'm going, the payoff will be huge.
A drink with my Mobile City.
