TAKE IT TO THE HOOP

Triple-Double
Some toil,
No trouble.
Fanning flames,
Tight/loosely coupled.

Add an-a-log.
Stir up the stew.
Reconcile decisions,
Zeros, ones, no twos.

At crossroads with
A pair of swords.
Oh me, oh my –
There’s two,
Good Lord!

That first step,
In faith, Fool’s leap
With certainty,
Comes doubt in seep.

I’ve made a list.
It’s been checked thrice.
Deets over-thought,
Let’s roll the dice!

Russell Westbrook
Don’t second-guess.
His moves, instinctive,
Among the best.

Maneuvering dance,
He’s in The Lane.
Alley-oop! KD…
Two points he gains.

Four seconds left.
The score is tied.
I got the ball
At the three-point line.

Clutch-time.
No choke.
I shoot –
It’s IN!
Trust in myself.
It’s how I win.
