PLAQUE



BIKING THE RAIN FOREST: NO BRAKE HILL!


In tandem they spin to a non-stop beat

Rubber wheels races against the black tar heat

Sixteen’s, twenty fours, and thirty twos poses as frames

While rewound memories mimic the playful yesteryear

Colorful shirttails frolic with the wind ahead

The skies of blues and whites are my laughter

MANGO! KENIP! JOJO! ARE MY CHEERS!

As we scream and rejoice at this,

"NO BRAKE HILL"!

    I like these, mahn. Nice to talk with you yesterday at the museum. Best part of the public art project was gettin' to know more of the community. Had many good discussions of many kinds on Saturday. Hope to see you and the others again, maybe for another project, or stage of this one. Check out what I hung today in Fsted. Lots of fun.
