Dirt bikes in the morning. Dirt bikes in the snow. Dirt bikes because I’m angry. Because of Dad.
Dirt bikes tomorrow. Dirt bikes after supper. Dirt bikes in the mountains. For leaving a mess.
Dirt bikes for crime. Dirt bikes because they’re fast. Because they make you mad.
Dirt bikes in the dog attack. In the rain. During the storms. I ride like lightning. On the beach. After the heist. During the traffic jam. I’m better than you.
Dirt bikes because I feel good. Dirt bikes in the strip club. Dirt bikes on money. On fire. Online.
Dirt bikes at the bottom of the pool. Because no tears. On a horizontal cliff. On a selfie stick.
Dirt bikes under wind turbines. Under the Statue Of Liberty. Especially at night.
Dirt bikes in front of the satellite dishes. Especially in the morning.
Dirt bikes for scorpions. For gangs. For acceptance.
For love. Because the world is sad. Because no one is here anymore.
Dirt bikes in several pieces. Dirt bikes without you. Dirt bikes chromed out. Dirt bikes graffiti’d. Dirt bikes as weapons. Dirt bikes as self expression. Dirt bikes as skull masks. For counting freckles.
Dirt bikes in the air. Dirt bikes in spite of fucking cops. For invincibility. For the red mist. For my friends.
Dirt bikes for wherever they are.
Dirt bikes because life goes on.
The poem captures the raw emotion and freedom associated with dirt biking. It's interesting how it ties into different aspects of life, from the mundane to the extreme. Speaking of extremes, I came across some unique akedo coloring pages that might appeal to those who enjoy the unconventional.
This poem hit me harder than I expected—the way it ties riding to every raw emotion, from grief to joy, is exactly why some of us just keep going. Life goes on, and so do we. Minecraft Enchantment Calculator
This poem hit me harder than I expected. The repetition of "dirt bikes" as this constant thread through anger, grief, joy, and everything messy in between really captures how we cling to certain rituals when life feels overwhelming. "Because no one is here anymore" and then still riding anyway — that's the part that stuck with me. Speaking of finding ways to keep moving forward, I've been using a scroll test online lately to check my mouse wheel since I spend so much time doomscrolling through poetry like this at 2am. It's oddly comforting that even our small mechanical checks can feel like a way of saying "life goes on."
