Basketball

Leaping in the air

Feel the wind go past your body

While you go to get the rebound

Or jump up for the ally-oop

Feel the ball smoothly on your fingerings

Meeting the ball

Then you notice

Your coach screaming

Dribble to the right dribble to the left

Shoot

The ball goes up

The buzzer sounds
