...do I still spin? I find myself spending the darkest part of friday night in a back alley, just another link in a circle of squatting bodies huddled around the unforgiving, chipped cement outside a low-tier dumpling joint. Don't be fooled by my squat, I can only maintain this posture because it has been etched into my hip and knee joints across decades, ever defying my increasingly stiff back. Eyes tracing eyes amongst the circle. A coupla decades ago we swore we couldn't have been more different. Lookit Kenny across the circle, double-stacked metal defensive rings prominent in his rig, the embodiment of the best offence being an impenetrable defence. But every year, heck, every day the eyes looking back and me look more and more the same. Our breathing has become laboured in recent years, staccato'd with tobacco hacks and perennial chest pains. A couple of our guts protrude from the bottom of our neon t-shirt hems, darkened with age. And yet, we rip the cords over top the cheap plastic bowl and watch. Tonight, the spinning blur looks like the toilet swirl. I watch wads of toilet paper and the load of poo poo that was my dreams, my loves, trace tighter and tighter circles, disappearing down somewhere underground. Chips of plastic litter the arena as each top eventually settles, even the lone winner eventually succumbing to the physical limits of what once felt like an unlimited world. Just one more rip. gently caress pogs. gently caress crazy bones. gently caress tech decks. Yeah, I guess you could say I spin. |

When I was a little kid, my mother told me not to use the metal salad bowl as a bayblade stadium, so once when I was six, I did.
