Don’t know why. But instead of feelin’ all shaky, I feel a little strong. Like Mama’s chin.

I’m sitting here thinking Snake? What kind of a stupid name is Snake? When I notice the bottom of his skateboard. It’s a metal-gray color, but it’s been spray-painted that way. And I can tell, because underneath, where the gray has been scraped away jumping curbs, it’s purple. A light purple with dark veins running through it. Like it had been dipped in molten amethyst. And there’s only one board I’ve ever seen that looks like that.
Mine.
From The Curse of the Moustache Mary by Sammy Keyes
