Shooting Hoops

For tomorrow, there will be
a thousand other things
that we will set free.
Looking towards the horizon
and letting go snakes
and other venomous creatures.
With people who feel something
more than a faint glimmer.
Who feel connected to:
A small house.
A well-kept backyard.
A basketball net.
A concrete floor.
A casual afternoon spent
with tall short haired boys,
shooting hoops.
