Basketball

Like a heartbeat alive on hardwood, impossible to predict. The ball behaves like a thought, frantically passing from hand to hand, gradually gravitating towards tiny circles in the air. A chaotic drama of rubber squeaking, players hysterically racing between attack and defense, dashing to hear the swish of the net.
