A ten-year-old blur on a board with wheels,
Concrete dreams, freedom’s zeal,
The Zombies sang She's Not There,
But she was, with ribbons in her hair.
The air buzzed electric, the summer's embrace,
Cheerleader perfume, a mist in the space,
A first kiss, sweet as a sugar rush,
Innocence marked by a teenage hush.
No, No, No pulsed in my veins,
A rhythm that broke suburban chains,
The future shimmered, far and bright,
A rocket's roar into the night.
The vibe was groovy, the moment pure,
A generation's call to explore and endure,
To build a world both wild and free,
Charged with hope, electrified glee.
Yet shadows whispered, faint but near,
A plea of innocence, too soon unclear,
But for now, the board rolled, the music played,
And life was righteous in its golden cascade.
