Parting, then starting 

now once again

My heart's in... and invested 

in my chest within

Flatlined, a stat line

is reset again

If you're willing to lose everything,

can you ever win?

I'm no one with no one

still without a sin

Going nowhere

except the somewhere

my mind has been

I've nothing but the something

I was born in

If you're willing to lose everything,

can you ever win?

My first poem was written on May 15th, 1995. It was about basketball. Every year on that date since, I write another poem about where I am in my basketball life. The original is in some notebook somewhere, and I'll add it to the site one day. Click here to see others.
