After Roxie checks

the ball,

the guy defending me

doesn’t follow me

to the corner.

Instead,

he joins Red

and they double-team Roxie

so she can’t go anywhere

and they’re about to steal

the ball from her

and I’m wondering

how she’s gonna

get out of

this straitjacket

and it’s real quiet

in the gym

and you can almost smell

the intensity

and she’s about

to get clobbered

just like in issue #11

when the Impossible Man—

and before I can finish

that thought,

my first cousin Roxie,

who knows I CAN’T PLAY basketball

who knows I DON’T LIKE basketball (anymore)

throws the ball

to ME.
