Untitled

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.
