slam dunk

when i was married
i used to dream alot
about basketball,
at the time i was
playing five days
a week, and weekends
too, which would
make seven days.
if there were eight
days in a week,
i would have been
playing eight days,
but no such luck,
but sometimes, in my
dreams, in a deep
slumber, with my
wife, well ex wife
now, next to me, i'd
grab the top of her
head like it was a
basketball, palming it
in a tight grip, and
before she'd wake
up screaming and
punching at me, i'd
be flying through
the air, going up
for a slam dunk, which
of course i never
could do in real
life, but in my dreams,
i was air jordan,
up up and away.
