Override

Skateboarders are pushing down the auto orchard. Placed in the citrus street like folded evidence markers, black and yellow. Black and yellow. Black and yellow. Unity remains among the throng of skateboarders even though their hero has been removed from life. Mike is remembered in a day of a skateboarding go. It was a good day. Mike is remembered in dramatic voices of the streets like a loudspeaker blaring over a storm. The lyrics of Reminisce in my mind overlay lives together on an audio timeline. Pharrell’s Prequel Mixtape released a year and a few months after the “soon to be rider on my skate team” had passed. His compassionate awareness uplifted a widespread community. His heart beats fortified the family. If these colors could speak it would be a solo saxophone breathing black and blue notes. The Beginning and the Omega speaks over instrumentals.

People over pixels. Creases increase with wind moving within big t-shirts. The skateboarders override the passing dominant and destructive forces in the city by a pushing posture ruling roads with love and forgiveness. There is a signal on the hill: only by the cross through the intersections of life could one withstand pervasive calamity on those who are just getting by. Retaliation is a lie. Lavishly loving your brother is a time tested innovation upon each heart it jolts up. Down the pathway of authentic service there are low points to bring you to the highest point. Remembering our friend. Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. Paid in full.
