observation poem

It's an uphill street
but that doesn't faze him.
He's done this before.
This may not be a mountain
or even a race,
but it's just as important.
His real cycling days are over
way over
but 
on the small trip from work to home
he relives it all 
the sweat
the pain
the satisfaction
and if only for twenty minutes,
he feels alive.
