A Skelton of fierce
Kinetic activity clatters
Whole cult of dudes
And lingo describing
The board tricks
The poetry of First Air
Wheels off concrete
Feet flipping and positioning
For full body impact landing
Hopefully with somebody watching
And you don’t get destroyed
Then to leap
Board stuck to your feet and
“Pipe” the steel railing
Down flight of cement stairs
By the Bank until the clatter
Brings out uptight bald Bank manager
In a tantrum
As you jab air with middle finger.
