  1. When I taught you
  2. at eight to ride
  3. a bicycle, loping along
  4. beside you
  5. as you wobbled away
  6. on two round wheels,
  7. my own mouth rounding
  8. in surprise when you pulled
  9. ahead down the curved
  10. path of the park,
  11. I kept waiting
  12. for the thud
  13. of your crash as I
  14. sprinted to catch up,
  15. while you grew
  16. smaller, more breakable
  17. with distance,
  18. pumping, pumping
  19. for your life, screaming
  20. with laughter,
  21. the hair flapping
  22. behind you like a
  23. handkerchief waving
  24. goodbye.
