Description Who needs the grace of god, he jeered,
when I can ride the autumn wind?
It's immaterial to reach
for moon or star when time's the same:
forward or backward: no difference to me!
I slide down parabolic curves
from peak to pavement, back again.

Your momentary grace, o mortal man,
falls round your ankles, clumsy heaps.
Pile it up, drag it down.
Wait for spring. I don't care.
'Coz I can ride the winter wind,
and spring don't matter, summer neither.
Who needs the grace of god? I ride.

Well described, especially the second stanza.

You like it then? Yes, I thought the second stanza was tighter, clearer as well.

Well I like it. Sounds like a very interesting character too, imaginary or not!

Yes, I liked him. He seems a bit of a braggart, but maybe he has earned his bragging rights? Thanks for your comment.
