Dairy Queen
Fourteen, maybe fifteen
Pippi Longstocking with breasts
Braids, freckles
A gap-toothed smile
Orthodontist, spare this one
"Can you watch my bike?"
I can
A natural gait
An athlete's body
Enters the store
Returns with her prize
Soft-serve ice cream nipple
Tongued vigorously, unselfconscious
Blue sky eyes
Sunshine hair
Venus in cut-offs
A fountain of blood
In the shape of a girl

This is the bike Lance Armstrong used on his road to recovery after his cancer treatments started. It is a little wider and more stable ride than your conventional racing bike thus enableing him to peddle during his dizzy spells. Unknown to the general public, the red food dye in his daily strawberry shortcake blizzard was the cause of his tumor. Wide tires also help during brain freeze.
Oh wait, this is not part of your series. Never mind.
