A leap, a step, just enough,
to feel the bounce beneath my toes.
It responds will glee and overdue
love for the angled roads.
Shifting shoes with wiggling feet,
rolling, rolling. Onward we fly.
To our deaths? To heaven, you think?
No! Just for the ride!
Swimming through the feral air,
cracks biting at your wheels,
the fear of tumbling off again
and breaking both your heels.
I wouldn't trade it for the Earth,
a girl, or friendly drug,
for this board is my lover.
Did I just eat a bug?
The wind runs past, molests my hair,
a playful game I know.
Forget your life and troubles now
and let your balance hold.
One last carve before the bottom
where the sidewalk ends,
the trucks bend gymnastically
the rubber digs deep in.
Lean back and brace the board,
it treats you well, you know.
Hear the friction sound so sweet,
and don't forget to
shit!
ah fuck!
my fucking wrist, goddamnit!! it's totally broken.
did that girl see?
