Ode to bike messengers
Oh bike messengers, with your excellent command of layering techniques and quads of steel, I see you pedaling around downtown each day.
We each go into office buildings, but I stay inside mine for hours at a time, while you go in and out, hop back on your bike and ride away.
Sometimes you pause to smoke a cigarette, use your phone, or lock up your bike.
And then you’re off again, dodging cars, SUVs, buses and the like.
One question: where are your female comrades?
