Toothbrush to the Bicycle Tire by Sarah Kay


They told me that I was meant for the cleaner life
that you would drag me through the mud
They said that you would tread all over me
that they could see right through you
that you were full of hot air
that I would always be chasing
Always watching you disappear after sleeker models that would be a vicious cycle

But I know better.


I know about your rough edges and I have seen your perfect curves
I will fit into whatever space you’ll let me
If loving you meant getting dirty, bring on the grime
I will leave this porcelain hole behind
I’m used to twice a day relationships 
but with you I’d take all the time
And I know we live in different worlds and we’re always really busy
but in my dreams you spin around me so fast I always wake up dizzy


So maybe one day you’ll grow tired of the road
and roll on back to me
and when I blink my eyes into one morning
your smile will be the only one I see
