The white bicycle
representing his demise
where the flowers used to mysteriously appear
has itself
mysteriously disappeared.

The evidence of Bobby’s passing
is past tense.
His death bike has gone missing,
is what I’m saying.

I would like to think
that with the icon
of his internment
apparently extinct,
it might mean that we could see Bobby himself
coming down the road
any day now.

I’m not getting hopes up
but I will keep
one leery eye open
just in case
Bobby opts to pedal by.
