6260. CADENCE

CADENCE
Here come the numbers. On again, off again.
Like well-poised basketball dancers, men are
aligned under nets, and counting off.
-
I can't remember where or when, but when I
was a kid I saw the Harlem Globe Trotters,
somewhere, and their court routine was nice.
-
I tried remembering what they did, but only
remember spinning balls and dancing guys.
It activated something, long ago.
-
And only now, I realize, all the rest
of the culture has taken them up.
