Basketball - Speedy Ortiz

in my defence

i never played

so hot for varsity

but ill score again

that untouched net

the source of dread

i wanted my own hole

to crawl through

still do

basketball in a vacant lot

the suprising scent

of a gland contracting

up against the playground fence

with so much guilt i couldn’t protest

you too

one finger on the ball

suspended round you go spinning slow

you go slow

there is another point

for the pointless team im cheering on

with pom poms and batons

why are you sweating your game

another holy spasm with radioactive conjurings

their fearful lord who waxed my brow and licked up all my salt

girls hit the showers now

and if you wanna drown breathe slow

breathe not at all

there is another point

for the pointless team im cheering on

with pom poms and batons
