I remember the first shot.
It was one of those silly bank shots.
Right on the corner,
From my favorite spot.
My first real shot.
I remember the game.
It was one of those movie-like games.
All tied up,
and a buzzer beater take.
The best kind to make.
I remember the jersey.
It was one of those real baggy jerseys.
Number on the back,
and the matching shorts.
Playing on the bigger court.
And I remember the shot.
It was one of those three point shots.
I knew it was my last one,
So I had one last wish.
I watched that shot go in with a swish.
It fell through the basket,
all scooped by the net.
And I finally realized,
that this was the end.
The endless crowds and shoes and shows.
But tonight was the final of five good years.
and I watched the door
close.

It's been good. I'll miss you basketball.
