Sleeping with someone you casually connect with
is almost as confusing as
sleeping with someone you don’t respect
(especially if you’re raw dogging).
Your body can trick your mind
into falling in love
or thinking that you did.

Balance Due (The Gut Check)
12 SepWoke up on the floor to my cell phone alarm
going off.
Folded up my sleeping bag
and found my carefully hung up slacks
and collared shirt.
Slowly started dressing in the dark.
I visualized my goals–both long and short term,
then walked down the stairs
and out into the still morning.
My grace period was over
and it was time to put in work.

Katie and the Mattress on the Floor
31 AugI. High afternoon passions
her skin complemented
the living room decor
of my studio apartment.
Sometimes tender.
Sometimes erotic.
But never too aggressive.
II. The lowest of frequencies
brought us back
late one night
for some herb
and some tunes
and a little bit of tongue.
My intentions were mild
at best, but things grew raucous
with one casual click of the mouse.

30 AugShe told me that perhaps
I should take a break from romance
and focus my energies on being an artist.
It took me a couple of missteps
before I finally took her advice.

A Little Pizzazz
13 MayI spend my down time daydreaming
of snagging tough rebounds
then immediately throwing full court outlet passes
that lead to fast break points.
I visualize touch passes
to baseline cutters for easy buckets.
No look bounce passes hit my teammates in stride–
right into the hand that’s closest to the basket.
Dump off passes thrown over my shoulder
into the pal of someone curling from
the paint to the rim
and over the top lobs to big men
skillfully sealing off their defender.
I guess you could say that I miss hoopin’.
