I rode my Baja scooter yesterday.
It had been sitting idle and ignored.
I felt just like a kid again at play,
delighted I had finally climbed aboard.
I felt the freedom of the open road,
enjoying sights that autumn had bestowed:
the sun on shoulders, wind to whip my hair,
and endless roads that lead to everywhere.
