Game Over

It was a basketball

soaring stealthily

towards the hoop.

The clock ticking down

getting closer and closer to the buzzer,

awaiting the celebration of the victor.

The sweat dripping off the players

while the final play is being ran.

the bright lights showing it off.

The slow dribble of the ball

bouncing up and down

off the hard wooden floor.

The shot goes up...

the ball swishing

so peacefully

waiting to return to its home.
