I’ve Always Wanted To Learn To SkateboardTimmy Sutton

I’m pretty sure I'm too old now

If I break an arm
Now, at this point,

I'm probably gonna have a storm sensing elbow
Until I'm the ash I've always asked to be

Maybe that's just how miracles work
Snapped tendon transmuted to
Front-porch, monsoon magic

I'll kickflip my way into wizardom
Skin my knees into sorcery
Fuck up my back forever

And then sit in a rocking chair
My body in conversation with clouds

Until the rain arrives
