It's not that I need it to survive,
but it's what I do to myself for the drive.
I reject the materialistic life,
of the wants and desires of the common strife.

We make and HAVE money and still buy,
so that we get the time to DO things or to try,
then we can all BE happier. But why?

Reverse the process and BE who you really are,
so that you know what you must DO to be far,
then you can HAVE what you want. That is the bar.

Atomic geek staid biker,
yep, that's me stretched over
that red two-cycle with two wheels,
reverse engineering my life ideals.
I've gone over the handlebars,
but, widening my stride, I've gone far.
