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'
