Place Poem
March 6, 2019
You say basketball and I already hear the crowd.
You say practice and I already see a hoop.
You say gym and I already hear the waxed floors.
You say “where's the foul!” and already I taste the salty refs.
You say dribble and already I feel the soft brown foam on the ball.
You say perseverance and already I find myself working late nights in the gym.
You say try it and already I find myself enjoying new things.
