“Skate or die”
An ode to my love-my skateboard
how it goes:
wax on wax off
when sad, bored, or with cough
rain, sleet, snow
broken by getting air, and knees low
top 5 “easy” tricks to learn first
here’s the top five you will curse
give up, oh I wanna, but that’s really just a never
try hard, fall, remember helmets make you clever
make a friend, make a few
go on alone, anything will do
me, all I need is I and it
some do other crap, but this is what I get:
sweet spots on concrete
seemingly stuck to sideways feet
a sweaty summer’s day near ruined when floored
but, dust self off, and hop back on beloved skateboard
