f l y i n g: a longboarding visual
Hand skims the road
Hair flies out behind you
Crouching on your board
You see for miles
Simple mundane figures flash past
They all
Melt into one
They don’t matter anymore
You are unstoppable
Heart drums along
To the tune in your head
And to the constant hum
Of the wheels against pavement
Right yourself
Kick off the ground
Bank left
Soar right
Flying, you are
Flying through your own sky,
The misty worn streets
Longboard, the wings
Carving and skidding along
The gray rough sky
Simple mundane figures
Don’t matter anymore
You fly faster than them
You are unstoppable
Hand skims the ground once more
As you crouch on the board
Grinning
Because flying,
You are.
