i've stopped listening to music when i ride my bike.
my morning commute to work is most often filled with
my cyclic prayer(from tao came one...) linked with focus
words(strength, health, patience, wisdom, direction, empathy).
however, my ride home at night is less structured. my mind
wanders more often than not, and i have on more than one occasion
found my self home without any conscious memory of the trip.
sometimes i think about the tenses of my life(iswaswillbe) or
nothing much at all...or, recently, my attention will be snagged
by the dots and dashes of static and silence that mean there
is a poem brewing.

Flows quite well. All the ideas kinda roll into each other. Good atmosphere building. All in all it was a good analysis of thoughts had during an ordinary commute. Enjoyed.
