Unheard Valentine

You’re not listening!
A mother yells to her son
Down the street on his bike
 
But the boy doesn’t hear her
Doesn’t want what he doesn’t like
Rides on through intersections
 
And over crowded bridges
Deftly picking his way
Through moving and parked cars
 
Pedestrians who pause to let him pass
Hoping to catch a little of his daring
To inspire their poor lives
 
All those in fear of dying
Beyond a mother’s call
He goes flying
