Decaying Paths....

Silt, Twickenham.

Went out for a bike ride today......tonight (yesterday now). Got spots of mud and puddle water all over me! On my legs.......on my back from the back tyre flicking up the mud.......from the puddles.......on my front too......from my tyre at the front. I saw it happen! It happened all the while I was going along..........the dirty track! My light...........a very good, strong light, picked out the spots for me.....each and everyone.....before they reached the surface of my clothing. Spots caught by the light looking more like tiny sparks of white hot metal.....spraying a little fountain just in front of my light. It was dark........pitch black all around me and my bike......just a little tunnel of light and the sparks showing the way for me! The surfaces of my bike too had a certain amount of mud and puddle water also. Especially the tyres......as you can imagine! It didn't stay there for too long.....mud displaces mud displaces mud......but at the end of the displacing it does find a home. My bike frame is very dirty! I can see it on my gloved hands and my sleeved arms.....little dark muddy spots!
I can't see this.....but I can feel it. My face has been affected too......along with eveything else. I felt it land..........the dirty, muddy water. My eyes were protected.....I needed that! A jogger shades her eyes from my light! My mouth too has taken in some spots! I wonder what is mixed into all of this! Dog shit.....Deer shit.....human shit......piss from all of them.....dead insects of all sorts are in this mud & dead leaves and rotting ferns.....cigarette ends.....sweet wrappers and a miniscule amount of rubber from bike tyres and shoes. And of course.......rain! I spit it away.....what seems like every two minutes. There is all sorts of decay happening on this track! I have plenty of saliva. I need it!
I am afraid of breathing in these moths that seem to have put up residence along this rotten path......attracted to my very strong light & perhaps my body heat too! Thousands.......millions of them! It isn't snowing.....they're moths.....moths or flies or some kind of insect that has wings and that is attracted to light, dampness and warmth and me. It is mild and they must like the warm. It is wet and they must like the wet & dampness. With me is a very strong light and they like the light. They are at handlebar height......mouth height......ground height. They are on the ground and in the air.....all around me! A man holds his dog while I cycle past. My eyes are protected, my mouth is trying to miss the moths..........I spit them away back through the air and back onto the ground. I would soon choke if I breathed one in! I breathe hard from cycling......I feel cool but I am hot and my heart beats fast! My legs are carrying me along this track.......covered in mud and puddle water! I dodge the puddles and mud.........try to dodge the puddles and mud! Not always possible! I have plenty of saliva. I need it! I have to get through to the other side, where the puddles and the mud are gone..........but this path is formed of a loop.......round & round & round! I have the strength to carry me there. I always have the strength to carry me there! I need it!
