I have reached a whole new level of geekery, I am writing roller derby poems. Yeah, what else is there to say about that?
Reinventing the Wheel
I am not reinventing the wheel
I am just skating in a circle
counterclockwise as counterculture
finding my own way
Hermes had wings on his sandals
because wheels were not a luxury afforded to the Gods
But in this woman’s sport we know the value
of dangerous curves
the round of our wheels
the round of our track
the round of our bodies
strengthened and toned
reforged in warmups and drills
I am not reinventing the wheel
I am just rediscovering myself
