Ode to the Zip-Tie

In more than a few places you keep my bike together

not complaining, despite the weather.

My fender says on with your support

as does my front rack, I'm happy to report.

I could have fashioned a bracket, a collar or a ring;

a permanent, metallic, lasting sort of thing.

I could have found the bolt,

for ages pawed through some bin or bucket.

But I zipped on a Zip-Tie

the bike maintenance equivalent of saying 'fuck it'

Might print this out and hang it in the shop. Great!
