Road Trip 2019: Day Twelve, CycleLife

miles of mansions,

waterfront owned by city,

planning perfection

cycling throughout

with restaurants in most parks?

happiness, designed

lakes and waterfalls

even a creek for a dip

could you ask for more?

Road Trip 2019: Day Eleven, Mill City

lakes are not enough

to keep this city spinning

(wheat connects us all)

the bread of our lives

lives in these shared memories

that we’ll feast upon

from book shops to dusk

in a city new to us

we’ll catch this twilight
