Skateboards

They fly on skateboards down the steps 

That head straight to the river, 

A camera person hoping that

Some magic they’ll deliver.


Yet these same stairs are used by all

For coming and for going

And skateboards aren’t made with brakes,

So there’s no way of slowing.


I sit and watch as older folk

And kids these steps are taking,

Convinced I may be witness to

Disaster in the making.
