my alarm went off,
but i was already up
excited to play.
stretching out muscles,
feeling the can of red bull
stirring in my blood...
i drive to the gym.
doors unlocked by five-forty.
bryce and mike are here.
soon we are shooting,
warming up for today's games.
soon the rest drag in.
the moment has come:
time to circle up and pray
for no injuries.
