There are many avenues forward, but they’re vaguely unfamiliar. Where I came from is deceptively safe.
i should listen more
people tell me how to live
but i kick their wisdom through the door
i don’t want intruders scuffing up my floors
proud of building up my grit
without handicapping what i score
never mind the other teammates on the court
i’m too good for an assist
openings are pathways i ignore
for the glory of humiliating hordes
i consider how to switch
but i’d have to loosen up my torque
set a boundary and attempt to stay on course
