We can only keep coasting downhill.

What about the other side?

What about the vistas,

ridges, mountains, big and small?

Where do the shadows yawn?

What becomes of perspective?

Why settle in the valley

no matter how it cradles us?

Back on our bikes,

those pedestals of freedom.

There are times to coast,

and times to climb.
