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.
