Cardboard flaps

The wind blowing through my hair, hitting the open road with nary a care in the world. At least, that is how I imagined it as I rode my bicycle on FM 949 with card- board flaps pinned on my bike so the wheels’ spokes would hit the flap and make an awesome motorcycle sound. Of course, my hair wasn’t that long back then yet. 02/01/2023 23:00
