Man with the Bicycle Hump.

leans
Across his handlebars and gazes on the
ground.
His is the emptiness of the bicycle face;
His back might bear the burden of the
world.
Who made him dead to heedfulness. and
caution,
A thing that looks not and that never
cares,
Stolid and stunning, a brother to the
trolley car?
Who slanted down those cleaning handle
bars?
Whose breath blew out the light within
that lamp?
Is this the thing the manufacturer gave
To have dominion over street and boule
ward,
To trace the paths and search the SUBJ
urbs for road,
10 feel the JOY of swift locomotion?
Is this the dream dreamed by the maker
of the machine,
Who stiffened that strong diamond frame
of steel?
Down all the stretch of road to the road
house
There is no shape more terrible than
this
More tongued with censure of the worlds

More filled with signs and portents for
tie passerby
More fraught with menace to the uni

The broken leg, the reddening nose?
Through this dread shape the scorching
age looks down,
Fast times tragedy is in that aching
stoop,
Through this dread shape, humanity be-
trayed,
Twisted, bent over, and all bumped,
Cries protest to makers of the bike,
A protest that is also prophecy.
o manufacturers, dealers in all lands,
Is this the chrome that you give the
world,
This monstrous thing, distorted and
awry?
How will you ever straighten up this
shape,
Give back the proud aud upward looking
head,
Make right the awful sinuosity,
The paraboiic incarnation, defiexion SER

How will the future reckon with this
man?
How answer his brute question in that
hour,
When he is bent just like boomerang?
How will it be with the makers of the

With those who shaped him TO the thing
