there was a basketball hoop in college.
right out front.
right in the middle.
weed and cocaine.
I worked, serving tables at Sam Sneed's.
I played with Rick.
there was a sticker on the backboard.
it said Tokyo Police Club.
I didn't know what it meant.
until I moved back to New York.
met Mike, took a class at UCB, broke my shoulder.
bought an iPod.
landed on my feet.
realized music.
translated tea.
made it out alive.
