rebounds are beautiful
it's that perfect bodily air twist
angular lean and
aggressive arm reach that
brings them down
midair frozen moment beauty
like a bird flying
they make dribbling look so easy
but that's what great artists do
and when they perform a spin move
or a between-the-legs bounce
it is the prettiest type of dance
the shot
oh, now there's an entire art form
the jumper from behind the arc
the fade away
the side shot
the impossible ups from underneath the basket
the ones that drop your mouth and leave
you clenching your head to keep it on
more beautiful than paintings
more poignant than photos
the art of the down time moments
player expressions that bare the soul
teammate cameraderie
it's all part of the play
the fascinating human movie
take me to a basketball game
to see the girls play
to feel that passion
in the world's greatest ballet
