Pop, Flick, Bail
May 19, 2014
I am off my game today
Kick, Kick, Pop, Flick, Bail
Pop, Flick, Bail
Pop, Flick, Bail
My friends tell me to get up and keep trying
but I would rather lie there and fry like an egg on the hot pavement
Spaghetti legs and swollen heels are all that is left of me
Get up, and walk back up the stairs
1, 2, 4, 5, 6
6 steps lie between me and my victory
"It is only a kickflip," I say.
"Pull yourself together."
Again, pop, flick, bail
Once more, pop, flick, bail
One more try for the road
Pop, flick, catch, land
Mission complete
