I was on my bicycle. I got lost
and was worried so I stopped
at a neighborhood garden.
Even though it was evening,
there were people in the
garden who I thought could
help me.
Weaving through tired streets in a
Cleveland neighborhood, I realized that I
had totally lost my way. Old newspapers
hung against curbs and empty windows
stared at me as I pedaled by. The
darkening evening skies and raw spring air
made me clench my handlebars and quicken
my pace. As I searched for something
familiar on a street named Gibb, a patch of
green in the middle of the block beckoned
me. The tension in my hands and back of my
neck disappeared as I entered the oasis.
