thanks, U r welcome. Believe it or not, that skateboarder used to be me! I saw a kid yesterday on a street called Broadway, fresh new blacktop. It was like slowmotion ...
I drove past in my car
he was on the sidewalk
he came to the start of the black top
he jumped the curb
a big smirk on his face, hair flipping up
and the board went smack!
down on the black
he pushed off fast
headed into the traffic
without concern... I could feel the smoothe board under me - just like I was 16!
I smiled a deep soul smile and then time sped up to normal and that skateboard sound
was heard diminishing in the distance. I thought of my brother. We used to skateboard together every day, I was quite the tomboy. We'd grab the bumpers of cars in our neighborhood and hang on until they sped up to 30 mph. (Shh, don't tell my mother!)
