hey, can you skate?
pick you up + head to maloof
the beach or chelsea piers
grab some drinx, coffee + smoke 
sick! the surf forecast
says the waves will be 3-4 feet

CAN YOU SK8?

what do you do, when you lost your bestfriend?
like an older brother
never again we'll go skain' 
your home won't be a refuge

his point wasn't to being perfect, but to being true
I guess that's what an older brother, teaches you.

...teaches you.

Rockaway Beach

why did you choose rockaway beach
staring at the ocean, the question comes to me
said you inquired with someone
now we shred 'til death

why didn't I swim, when I had the chance 
the waves are so beautiful, watching from my head
the girls and wife are chilling to, this is a place to rest

Rockaway Beach

thank you for providing a safe space for us to discover and learn
I favorited, Bad Religion + always respected your soul
yes dad, its sick, life is so sick, it sucks a bit too.
I love you, don't be a stranger, I'll never meet another dude as cool as you

out of necessity
