Title: Self Portrait (In My Dreams)

Description:

THE LAST DECK by Dos Tres

In ET Surf I was ugliest of all,

the last one left on their skate deck wall.

I'm a quality board made by Powell-Peralta,

but my weird grinning skull made the customers falter..

No one 'til baker man Will came to say,

"That skull drives me nuts but if it's fast - well, OK."

He brought me to Hermosa Pie by the Strand,

where cookies, pies, strudels and cakes rule the land..

Then in from the street comes this bat-crazy artist,

"Dos Tres is the best", they said, "Yo he's the smartest.."

Wil handed me over to him for a try,

then we skate to the pier - down and back, Dos and I..

His Vans felt so good on my deck as we flew,

our future was boundless for all that we knew..

The pie guys declared "Dos you skate and you paint,

"We're too busy baking, so ride him we cain't,

"We'll sponsor you in Rock Roll Rebel Hermosa,

"Take our board sand it off to the wood but no closa."

Dos sanded my bottom right down to the hull,

he was trying to sand off that hideous skull..

He moved back the truks to be outta the way,

and painted the cruise that we took that first day..

A 3D fantasia of sun, Strand and sea,

our energies flowing, our spirits set free..

I'm no longer lonely, unwanted, forlorn,

as an iconic artwork I have been reborn..

Yet sometimes I feel that skull trapped down inside,

..itching to make his escape and just ride.
