my sister gave me a book of skateboard culture art.

i don't really absorb that culture, i'm outside it. but i'm outside other cultures too, the birder, the dissident, the nuclear family, the war, the romance, etc. i'm an observer. i like this lilliputian skateboard.

hmm, yeah i kind of can see what you're saying.

i was never cool, but i watched, i toed the verge of the cool. i dreamed one day i'd reach the mountaintop and not trip.
