On Equipment

On Equipment

I've learned a lot of things from my parents
Some of them intentionally
Some by years of imitation

My father taught me
by intention or imitation who knows
that no matter what you can accomplish

your goals through your heart
the equipment doesn't matter
adaptability and ingenuity will get you far

right of course, he is my father after all
yet the equipment does matter
he gave me a brain and a heart


I was out for a bike ride today, missing the racing bike that I used for my triathlon.
So naturally, I wrote a poem.
