Fresh as a Daisy
It was the beginning of change and Barack in two thousand and eight. Khris took the leap of faith with the skill set of a professional skater. He’s laced with Michael Jordan shoes; poised in the air. The act commanded my full attention. The far-reaching tree branch fifteen feet above the grassy knoll proves to be an action based in freedom. He’s giving something of value for the sake of another. Framed between two gnarly branches, Khris clutches his board’s nose like a vice grip. Brave to overtake the caveman.
