When Lenny cranked up his Harley Road King,
He left the working world behind
And roared onto the Pali Highway,
Bent on speed.

His long black hair whipped behind
Then over his face.
A loner, family back east,
He headed into a down hill curve.

Leaning far right, his bike began to slide
Off the leaves covering the shallow puddle.

Going too fast to recover, he bounced
Off the concrete road,
Head hitting hard on the immovable Highway.
Is there a meaning to his death?

Lenny’s message?
“In grateful appreciation”
National Eye Bank.
