In the Harleys of your mind

Just made the Steverino and his friendgirl fresh fruit smoothies with ripe bananas, an orange, Twister, strawberry Yoplait, a Gala apple, and frozen peaches. I was humming a bit of Steppenwolf as I whirred the blender, imagining myself in black leather as I shifted from chop to puree. Did that little rev-rev handlebar gesture, and Steven told me I was on the Harley of my mind. He was grumpy because I put in a few almonds for protein.

like a circle in a spiral
like a wheel within a wheel
never ending or beginning
on an ever spinning reel
like a snowball down a mountain
or a carnival balloon
like a carousel that’s turning
running rings around the moon

like a clock whose hands are sweeping
past the minutes of its face
and the world is like an apple
whirling silently in space
like the circles that you find
in the windmills of your mind !
...

like a circle in a spiral
like a wheel within a wheel
never ending or begining
on an ever spinning reel

as the images unwind
like the circles
that you find
in the windmills of your mind !


Most of my students haven't the foggiest about windmills. They are too busy watching in-car videos to actually look out the window...I'll wear my helmet and leather jacket!
