wheelie

boy
​on a bicycle
sails past me 

quietly, and 
in the light
of the lamp-post

near the grocery store
​​i see him
do a wheelie 

simply, freely 
and almost 
unceremoniously 

on the empty street
nothing that anyone else
might have seen

except the evening stars
his front wheel 
was silhouetted against.
