Basketball

by Janus Gapusan

A place to meet friends
sweat dripping down my face
jumping as high as I can
feeling like a superhero
flying with a cape
it’s called a team sport
and played on a court
The ball bouncing like bigfoot’s stomp
the sound of squeaky shoes
running up and down the court
hearing the whistle blows
like an elephant’s nose
to play to have fun
and we play to win

Basketball is the sport
