Tournament Time

Tournament Time

The ball travels

 from hand to floor

        hand to floor

         hand to floor.

The rhythm as steady

as the clock ticking down.

Suddenly, the thumping stops.

The player takes the shot.

Will it be a swish?

Kiss the backboard and drop in?

Clang! It ricochets off the rim.

Game over.

Another team gets bounced.
