That’s How They Roll
Skateboarders go their own way, smoothly.
This kid in the photo was across from me on the 6 train the
other morning. Kids with skateboards look cool to me. Independent. In touch
with some glide.
Some go by me when I’m holding my sign. Heading to high
school or college. The streets are clogged with impatient cars. No matter to
them. If my sign is angled in a way they can see it, they acknowledge it with a
peace sign or a hook-‘em-horns hand gesture. They grin at it. They think the
sign’s cool. If I had t-shirts with the sign on it, they’d wear one. Black kids on skateboards are the coolest
thing there is.
