How simple is it to change the view from your kitchen window?

I sipped my mornings coffee

the window I stared through.

Asphalt same as yesterday

I wish I could change the view.



I saw a boy named Toby

he lives just up the street.

He spends more time pushing his bike

then sitting in the seat.



A group of kids raced past him

as he fumbled with his chain.

I remember being an eight year old

I felt this child’s pain.



My words “do you need a hand?”

were met with a six toothed smile.

We pushed it into my garage

we worked and talked awhile.



I learned he had a pet rabbit

Its name, I recall was Bear

that Bear, himself and his three sisters

all had reddish hair.



I straightened both of the rims

by turning each and every spoke.

I adjusted the seat and handlebars

As he told a knock knock joke.



He asked if I could make it go faster

my lecture on gear ratio brought a stare.

We searched my cabinet for lightning grease

I told him his next race wouldn’t be fair.



The bike all back together

we shook hands and said goodbye.

Now outside my window

a smiling streak of red …races by.How simple is it to change the view from your kitchen window?
