that’s what death is like: an anti-gravity jump, slam dunking the ball in the basket, landing firmly on the waxed wood smooth as the moon’s surface and looking out at the empty stands
it’s like this: retiring, and yet continuing to practice as if the next game were only a few minutes away by private jet
*
the arc, the precise distance, the force the ball in hand and control of the moment
as if nothing else existed no hunger or orphans or guilt that’s how one has to give it one’s all
love is a discipline just like basketball and a game of basketball has the same structure as life
one must love while there’s still time as if nothing else matters
that’s how i’ve always played and when my mates caught on they carved tunnels in the air so i could pass them my master play

Think about this: a swarm of wasps devouring a half-decomposed Bengal tiger
a confrontation of two symmetries
the synthesis of the wasp with the tiger in its digestive system
is a kind of borrowing or doubling, a negotiation and plasticity of matter
no better example occurs to me
something like that happens when you wear the bull of your Chicago Bulls shirt
when the pores of your hands touch the pores of the ball
when the spring of your muscles lifts you up off the ground and mixes you with the air
