Longboarders in the Night

for 'tasha

If I could bleed through the skies like microphone mesh
you would hear the songs I am singing to you
like 60 minute heart beats wound up with no stress
if I could race the very sun
and win and still never wear out my kicks
I know you would already be in the grass of the next morning
smiling gentle eyed like the goddess you don't know you are
in the morning day light the sunshine
slits in through the kitchen window across
the living room floor and glints in your eyes like stars
but I must admit that I've been up since seven and haven't napped
so I don't know how far I'm going to be able to run
but still it is so exciting just the same
so much so that it feels like I'm going to explode
with anticipation at the thought of the chase
so in preparation I jacked a 2/6 of sailor jerrys
slammed it back blazed a blunt lit a smoke
imagined your hand on my throat
teeming as the needle before the plunge
knuckles tighten before the choke
and in the soundlessness of the blaring
of the countdown just before lift off
I see the prime time crook in the corner of your mouth
as your eyes lessen/listen to the 60 hours
of my heart pounding too fast for my own good
but keeping a steady pace with the good of your own
60 minutes of my chest crashing
compress into 60 milliseconds of the slide ways sly grin i reflect
not knowing that all along you were the mirror
and I am beginning to ramble beginning to feel dizzy
and my words must be clouded and unclear
like a drunk with his gamble on account of
I am so fucking high off you
it would be impossible for me to drive so take the wheel and steer
and true neither of us may ever come down completely
but don't worry we'll trade off every 6 hours
or on the inbetweens when we are peaking
which needless to say at this point
is probably going to be most of the time
and ya know if we could we would slam the petal to the floor
and do our best to fly 'cause fuck yea we like to go fast
and sure we like to party but we also live inside a city
so for the sake of responsibility and at least
our parents peace of mind and our own physical safety
fuck the car
get on your kicks grab your deck
a dirty 20 for supplies on the way
your grand dads bag of weed (leave a note trust me he'll understand)
cigars clenched between our teeth let out a scream
take my hand and let's FUCKING GO!
let's bomb this hill like it's the only one that exists
let's bomb this hill blindfolded
like we actually know whats around the bend
let's double on one skate with our hands on eachother's eyes
realize we can do anything / actually
not with blind faith but wide eyed knowing
home done ink bleed from our feet / lets ignite
roadrash naked hips side by side
longboarders torching off weightless / airy / light
longboarders torching off / long long long into the night
