about

I received this in an email from my father:

'Lexi, sometimes I am stimulated to write poetry. It's best that it's "sometimes."

followed by the poem that became the lyrics of this song.

lyrics

I breathe faster than time, I accelerate beyond space. I am a cyclist
I am son, sibling, spouse, father, zayde. I am a cyclist
Unbound by physics, I transcend known
My anatomy is metallic and carbon; dynamic, fluid, linear, constant.
You cannot degrade, dilute my purity nor focus. for, I am a cyclist

by my Daddy-o
