ポエム by Strawberry Fields Forever Centuryの参加者。

昨日書いた土砂降りの中のStrawberry Fields Forever Centuryですが、実際に予定通り開催されたらしい。その参加者が作った詩がSilicon Valley Bicycle Coalitionのメーリングリストに流れていたので載せてみる。

Strawberry Fields Century:
weather: Surreal
distance: long strange trip
voices in my head: Jerry, Bob, Phil, Bill, Mickey, Donna Jean, and Keith


Report:
goin' down the road feeling bad
spose to be raining, just a tad
seatin' down on soggy, chamois pads, chamois pads
hey mr. weatherman, I've been had


goin' where the climate, suits my clothes
goin' where the water don't splatter up my nose
goin' where the chilly, winds don't blow, winds don't blow,
making my bicycle, go real slow


goin' down the road, in a flood
goin' down the road, getting facials of mud
goin' down the road, the brakes are a dud, brakes a dud,
why am I riding, in this crud?


goin' where the water showers me grime
goin' where a payphone might still cost a dime
goin' redwood canopy, from before my time, before my time,
lord of the forest's ancient rhyme


goin' down the road, hey whaddya say?
goin' down the road, a day in May.
would I do it again, at Monterey Bay, Monterey Bay? Sure but
please Mr. Sunshine, next time stay.

"Why am I riding?"という疑問が常に沸いてくる中、この詩を作りながら走ったそうだけれど、お疲れ様としか言いようがないな(笑)。
だけどこんな事書いていて、私の出るSequoia Centuryで大雨になったら笑う。
