Basketball

May 17, 2021

Her words bounce around in her hands,

Like a basketball on the court.

She,

The solo player.

There's a five second hold rule.

She tosses the ball of words into an empty cyberspace court

It bounces four times.

The bounces,

Symbolizing each person being hit.

Shes that sticky piece of gum at the bottom of your shoe;

A stretch of truth

In every slimy,

Yet weirdly delicious way.

One at a time,

Her words strike,

With full force.

Not a second of thought

Before she releases them into the cyber courtyard.

Mass casualties reported.

A stretch of truth

Becomes a string of lies,

But she doesn't realize
