I Am Legend

I Am Legend

I Am Legend

Xelin

San Francisco • 2020

  • I am a skateboard queen.
    I have no fear of pain.
    It lives in my breath and skates all around my pumping heart.
    Spinning through my mind riding out to the ramps of life.
    I can see skateboards swirling around my vision.
    Taste the sandpaper curling on my sweaty fingertips.
    Feel the smooth ground coursing up my legs.
    I can smell the wheels gliding down the ramps, reeking of burnt dirt.
    Hear the cry of the boards as I glide down the hill.
    I have no fear of pain.
    I am a skateboard queen.
    I am Xelin Nounou.
