this bike was
vintage when i bought it used for $90 and i'm still
cranking
on it 25 years later. it only takes a few minutes to walk to the beach but that adds up when you're as busy as i'm not, so when i'm racing the tide and/or sun i'll hop on for that little inimitable thrill where balance meets momentum. still dressed in work clothes, i bundled and bunjeed a bathing suit to the rack, but hoped i wouldn't need it. the tide was high enough to swim on the back side away from prying eyes and there was no one in sight to be scandalized when i discreetly disrobed, obscured by a big drift stump that hasn't moved in months. there's no freer feeling than skinny dipping in the ocean, completely unencumbered, one is distilled to pure animal essence, a floating bag of protoplasm adrift in the planetary womb that spawned us. |
