Boys playing basketball after school, just for fun. <br /> <br />They are funny as they go around in circles, dribbling <br />the ball, trying to keep it away from each other and <br />score points for themselves. <br /> <br />Jumping up, trying to slam dunk the ball, they end up <br />hanging on the rim with one hand. <br /> <br />It makes them feel tall, makes them feel cool, as they <br />identify with the pros. <br /> <br />Running, blocking, dribbling, feeling good about them- <br />selves. <br /> <br />Every once in a while, making a basket when they don't <br />think about showing off to those who are watching them.<br /><br />RoseAnn V.
