I was walking along Euclid Ave. yesterday morning, on the way to a
\nmini-seminar that was scheduled to run from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. Euclid is the
\nmain strip running east from campus; traffic was light: a few students going to
\nthe second day of their Maymester classes, City of Syracuse workers gathering up
\nend-of-lease heaps of curbside refuse. It was 9:37 a.m. I was ten minutes
\nfrom campus, well into the 1.6 mile, thirty-minute walk.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A bicyclist peddled into the vague periphera at my right. Nothing
\nunusual about the speed or course, until, that is, the front wheel of the bike
\nscribbled a quick figure eight and the young woman riding along uneventfully
\njust moments earlier tumbled headlong onto the street, the bike awkwardly
\nfolding away beneath her. In other words, she fell off the bike in the
\nmiddle of the street, as if, almost, the bike just broke.<\/p>\n

I pulled my earphones–Track 6, "All Tomorrow’s Parties"–and hurried to
\nwhere she fell. She was dazed, looking over her left arm for evidence of
\nthe pain she no doubt felt. Another walker on the other side of the street
\ncame to her aid, as well. While I called 911, heeded her request to go get
\none of her roommates from their house, which was less than a block away.\n<\/p>\n

I don’t think she was hurt badly. Might’ve had a broken hand\/wrist\/arm.
\nAnd blue jeans did a very nice job, I’m sure, of abating what could have been
\nnasty scraps with any other sort of legwear. Within fifteen minutes, the
\nambulance arrived; they whisked her away on a backboard, braced for the
\npossibility of neck trauma. She wasn’t wearing a helmet, and by some small
\nmiracle, her arm took the brunt of the fall. For all I know, that is.<\/p>\n

I continued to campus and would be fifteen minutes late for the mini-seminar.
\nNot rattled, exactly, but stung<\/i> by a moment of crisis, affected somehow, as much
\nby the oddity of seeing someone spill, unassisted, from a bicycle (@15mph), as
\nby my quiet wish that everything would be just fine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
