As we are mortal
and maybe even
if we weren’t, we
travel through
this one way
dimension
nanosecond
by
nanosecond
until we
aren’t anymore.
Although you don’t
have to be Einstein or
traveling at lightspeed
to know time is relative
sometimes going so slowly
other times passing too fast.
But I’d give one of my back
molars (which itself is feeling
the effects of time) for a time out.
Not the stand in the corner kind which
our parents gave us unruly children, but
rather a basketball type of time out where
everything stops and coach can draw up
the buzzer beater that will win the game.
But that’s all fantasy and excuse me if I
get a bit Buddhist, but we all know that
the past is gone and the future yet to come
we live in the now.
Enjoy.

Invented in the 1890's
A sport I played as a youth
Now I've got
the
Brooklyn Nets on T.V.
Can one be a poet and a sports fan?
The answer of course is yes!
There have been many terrific poems
written about athletes
City dreams are hoop dreams
CITY DREAMS ARE HOOP DREAMS
Maybe at 63
I can still dribble and make a basket
Die on the basketball court!
Not a bad way to go!
