hunter s. thompson photo. still my favorite.


we have all seen it.
but see it again.
looks a hell of alot like oakland to me
but could be s.f. cold fog.

goin for a ride, it's early, your body hurts a bit,
kick it , kick it , kick it,
your bike started up, keepin it going,... petcocks on?
they're starting up one at a time, one aint startin, two started at the exact same time.
your stomach is buzzin, god i hope my bike makes it. money for gas?? food?? beer??
clunk it into 1st, turn the wheel, turn the throttle,
hit the road,, leave it all behind.

I say it to myself every time I kick the thing over now. Sometimes it even works like it did that one time.
