career/skating

pushing hard
wheels heating
sun beating
fine tuning my ankle's anchor
on the board moving
and push 
and push 

one leg hold steady 
other, push and push
rest of the limbs
learning to loosen to
grow the velocity

finally, plant that pushing foot
we must be flying now
stand up and enjoy a speeding coast

but broken paving here
is so rough
I'm back to still in seconds
wondering, why the wasted exertion

arrive at work to clock in
guess it was just exercise
