Notes Upon Watching the Nets

A nice, pretty Jewish woman told me a while back that she thought Basketball was for Black people What she didn't realize is that it used to be called "The Jewish Game". I passed through a period as a youth when I wanted to become a basketball player Well, I am now a poet Maybe one day I will write a poem about Elgin Baylor or George Mikan Know who they were? They were fine ballplayers Memories of ballgames are burned into my consciousness ONE CAN ALWAYS DREAM!
