Final Four Floater

It's a rainy day. The cable was out this morning so it's a perfect time to float some poetry your way:

It’s a reckless race to the rim
They chase after the ball like they chase dreams
A chance in this field is slim
Still they pursue, making the game more rewarding than it seems
He’ll collect a thought before he connects a shot
He’ll dance left, pivot and spin back around
Plant his feet just as he’s ready to release the knot
A floating jumper from the left lane before he lands back on the ground
The ball twists through the net
Upsetting the backboard glass with a static shake
They watch the scoreboard flash the closing debt
A go-ahead bucket on the road, with the Final Four at stake

Parting Points: Song of the day- "Float On" by Modest Mouse
