Biking through Utrecht

People sitting on the docks
with their blankets trying to keep warm
crawling over each other 
to get the last beam of the sun
like nothing is wrong
just trying to keep warm

and the road
turns from asfalt
into concrete
into bricks
into gravel
into sand
untill finally
grinding to a halt

flushed with a terrible calm
we continue
to pedal
as tough as we are
and as tho
nothing is wrong
trying to get that last beam 
of the sun
just trying to keep warm
