Cycling through the City

teary-eyed ending
 to fifteen-mile bike ride
 oh, but donut grin
 
 we stopped at projects
 perfect playground, tire swings
 Africans playing
 
 (my dream neighborhood:
 kids play outside, not with screens
 poverty beats us???)
 
 my middle child
 pedaling through our city
 here: my home, my heart
