The Love of the Game
May 28, 2008
Sweet smell of pine beneath my feet,
Hot, salty sweat rolling down my face,
Drill after drill,
They say practice makes perfect,
Suicide after painful suicide until I am shaking at the knees;
Free throws until I visualize them in my dreams;
Dunking until the excruciating pain in my muscles
Prevents my feet from leaving the ground.
Heat beating full of passion... the love of the game.
