LISA'S NEMESIS

Lisa's dilemma
works in 100 Mile House:
he rides a red Harley, with dual carbs,
and leather, hand tooled saddlebags,
that sway above hot chrome pipes.

He sees in her the alabaster china,
so fair, that he never possessed.
his jukebox fantasies have her,
in the wilds of British Columbia,
to share his princely realm.

Lisa is no man's easy rider in a dream,
she'll dance to no tune but her own.
she'll not be packed into leather;   
to exist hidden in plain sight;
she truly prefers unicycle riding.

This is truth
she says
more or less.
