A SWISH

And finally, in honor of March Madness and the fun of the NCAA’s best teams, I’d like to share my thoughts on the sweetest sound in basketball:

—

Such music sounds as a ball

Falls to earth through knotted chords

And scores.

Untouched by rim or board.

The ball feels only strings

And sings:

A quiet, intoxicating sound;

A whispered affirmation of skill

To thrill.

A ball launched from fingers outstretched

Arcs across empty space

An ace

Flying through air spinning - and pausing

In glad destination

A proclamation:

Proud with rippled net

In consummated wish:

A swish.

Love, 

David
