"I just want some neutral ground"
this paradoxical line _____
to escape into furious motion and through it all find;
at the end of freedom's rainbow...
a place of rest
I want a bicycle again
I want to ride through a flurry of puddles to a place where a waterfall is frozen
"I just want some neutral ground"
a bicycle actually does show up
it is mangled in a horrific traffic accident
he begins to assemble a new one
then, in a cold blaze of epiphany he casts it piece by piece into the river
"I just want some neutral ground"
I can and should get back on the horse
critics who turn themselves into evangelists often struggle
he doesn't note the coincidence
did he contact her?
his story is on his side
the same cannot be said for her
but it can and should be said
"I just want some neutral ground"
