during a series of no-look passes
and bounced assists and spinning lay-ups
on the tv on the patio in the cool evening;
looking over to the couple clearly,
nervously drinking beers, on a first date
at the straight sports bar to watch the game;
where one was older or more experienced
in the ways of the world and knowing
how to order, the other was working
out the mechanisms of attraction and hiding
in the middle of the crowd, to not seem
obvious or committing any foul but yet
needing to be interested and proud
in being a man with another man,
both attractive and waiting for the other
