flying high

i had a dream the other day
that i was dunking
a basketball, that i was literally
flying through the air,
effortlessly and dropping
the ball through the hoop.
a fun dream.
in my youth, when i was bone thin
ands strong, i could leap,
but still i could barely
touch the rim, then as time went
on, i could barely touch the
net, and now. dribbling is
a challenge, reaching my shoes
to tie my laces is a victory
of sorts.
