06:50

They skate

through the streets

in the midst

of dawn

caring for no-one

but each other

and their

forbidden love

 

One a refugee

the other

a used up tyre

 

What they have

in common

is their

delinquency

 

The wheels tear

and shred

the pavement

marking their time

and their place

where all others

had failed

to even recognise

or for that matter

acknowledge

 

And they wheel off

and the sun rises

and nobody knew

that they were even

there.
