HAD IT
Seen it. Been There.
Done it, "Bought the T-shirt."
Have you? Fuck you withering fools.
Grow up. Be mature.
Act your age "not your shoe size."
Why? Be all washed up like you?
Relax. Mellow out
Go with the flow.
No way "Mon
Make a stand. Be yourself.
Against the grain.
Don't succumb to the banal.
-Unknown Poet, Australia
UNTITLED
And I'm jammin' and flyin' and
cruisin' and divin' alone.
I'm skating and I'm free, and that's
how it's always been...
Not being judged and not wanting
to be, I skate.
About two blocks back conformity is
turning the corner. But me and my
skateboard are just too fast and
that's how it's always gonna be.
-Thomas Miller, Baton Rouge, LA

POET'SQ
WHATCHA GOT?
I've got style, I've got class,
I've got a skateboard and I'm kickin' some ass.
I've got the tricks, I've got the moves,
I've got stylin' clothes, so check out my groove.
I've got the WW, I've got the friends,
So whatcha got? I ask again and again.
I've got the Boy Scout belt, I've got the mag.
I've got the shirts and my pants got sag.
I've got the music, the Beastie Boys,
skatin' on the half-pipe, just chillin to the noise.
I've got the chicks, that ain't no crock
I've got the moves to waste the No Fear jocks.
I've got the paint and I'm doing my own tags.
Wrote this poem just bustin' the brags.
I don't live in Call, just let it be,
Please come to Utah and sponsor me.
This is the end, to my homies I give props,
One last question, "Whatcha got?"
-Colin Tidwell, Ephraim, Utah
