shuffle, side-step
on the hardwood
hittin' chest to
chest thumping
bravo boys
dodge, glide
dip
finger-roll, wrist
flips
the sphere into the air
with grace
defying gravity
in a french pastry
rock the cradle
reverse lay-in...
swish it, dish it
serve it up on
the scoreboard
in multiples of deuce
man...those boys can move
god, to be ten again
they grin
still friends though
one'll lose, one'll win
and "hey man, gonna rack you up!"
"not if I rack you first!"
they just wanna play
as manic, pot-bellied pops
go
toe-to-toe
on the sidelines
in a belligerent
silverback battle
to relive glory through
little boy eyes
