recipe for my midlife crisis

begin by taking these old bones

& fit them with an old t-shirt with the Social D logo

a torn pair of cargo shorts

stuff those old hammer toes into a pair of red Chuck Ds

which are held together with duct tape & prayer

then put a pair of double AA batteries into 

an '80s Walkman & don't forget the Black Flag cassette

dust off that old Santa Cruz Yellow Dot skateboard 

the grip tape half hanging off the deck

with the Independent Trucks & Bones wheels

add a pinch of ol' punk 'tude

best to practice the sneer in the mirror

add them all into the stew 

mix well!

then check again the rates & deductibles for medical/life insurance

cuz getting on a board again at this ripe age

will kill you!
