day one. im excited!
check out nasty nate marshall's blog here.
also, wanna see more 30/30 poems? Holla!
hoop dreams
to ESPNEWS headlines blaring about
Beale Street Blues and
a Bluegrass Dynasty
and I see Mr. John
in a blue shirt with a different logo
talking about this new job
and his dream coming true
and i know that memphians are
pissed
hoping that this is an april fools joke
praying that
the king of memphis has not
abandoned his throne
but what fans will never understand
is the fact that coaches
like mr. john
like my daddy
have dreams too
and in this world
and this lifestyle they have chosen
there are no hurt feelings
its just business
but thinking about mr. john's kids
who i've grown up with
who have to move again
for the umpteenth time
like me and my brother
being dragged around from state to state
because of daddy's dreams
was something i didn't understand
when i was 3
when i was 4
when i was 10
when i was 12
when i was 15
but now im 6 years wiser
and im watching the tv screen
as mr. john who i've known
as long as i can remember
close a chapter and embark
on a dream
i couldn't be any prouder
to dare to dream
in the public arena is
the most courageous act
a man can do
and years ago when i was 13
sobbing on my bed with
moving boxes all around me
i couldn't understand
and i couldn't see
that i should step back
dry my tears
show my support
and allow my dad
the chance to dream
