One foot positions itself quickly and efficiently in front of the other. A woman has just overcome an impossible height. A man places the final brick into a wall that has taken a lifetime to build. Endurance beyond endurance. He isn't looking past the duty of his feet save to keep from crashing. People are staring as he balances the curb. Someone he knows sees him this way, but that someone will never know how many people lost their teeth at that moment--how many people just kicked the shit out of something.
The Go! Team, "The Power is On," Thunder, Lightning, Strike (Memphis Industries, 2004)
