I am the grit in the gears, the missing bolt, I am the poker of sticks into spokes.
I like to know how things work, but sometimes when I take them apart and rebuild them, I have a few pieces left over.
I am a man, so I tend to leave reading the instructions until after it goes wrong.
And like all men I have a comprehensive mental map of the world and never need to ask directions.
I never get lost, only sometimes I'm late, or end up in the wrong place entirely.
It's what we do.

Bicycle Parkour

Yes, Adullamite, there's always a part of me that says that, for he does, no doubt, cause damage, as do those lads who swarm amazingly over buildings, those who rattle around our town centre on skateboards. But more than that theres respect for his skill, for his daring, I'm sure there are many kids on bikes who try stunts, few though who'd leap the wall below the one o'clock gun. The lad's a pyrate! Though he may hang, I'll raise a glass to him.
My word, what a film. Made my heart race, crazy buggers!

ReplyDeleteI've never seen anyone else even close to his level, and I've seen european championships...
Vandal! Lock him up!
