Spoke Rattle

Too stuffy inside! Squeezed straight under the porch screen door and tumbled onto rough outdoor concrete! Chilly air, huge sky! Propped right by the railing stood a towering green bicycle! A giant round wheel full of shiny silver wires! I charged forward, planted my feet, and slammed my gear hand right across the spokes! Clink-twang-clack! Pushed harder, whole arm vibrating—zing-zrrrt! The wheel budged, and the axle clicked right back at me with a sharp tick-tick-tick! A giant outdoor clockwork! Beautiful noise!
