For the Love of the Game
October 14, 2009
I take you
Gently
in my grasp.
I feel the
anticipation.
fake right
go left
lay it in.
Welcome back.
An hour later
hands bleed brown.
Just thrity
More minutes
Dribble dribble
You pound on the ground
My head spins.
beads of sweat trickle down.
heart races.
head spins.
I Take a deep breath..
Stay in it
Push through
because,
This is
basketball.
and Tired,
does Not
Exist.
