Ecstasy takes over him
as the boy rides his bike downhill,
smiling as sweat rolls down his face.
He hears the pedals turn with a squeak
and his brother challenges him to a race.
Together, they begin atop the long, steep hill
and ride side-by-side, at least until,
the boy moves slowly forward,
inch by inch, and he reaches
the bottom first-
he wins!
