Small stone - Jan 28

At halftime the girl's team all come onto the court.
They grab the practice balls from behind the boys'
bench and try to palm the ball. One girl can do it,
showing off her blue nails, others spill the ball,
and one simply holds hers in an upturned hand.
Laughing, they pose for a photo, then scatter
as the boys reemerge from the locker room.

Small stone - Jan 25

The basketball coach is a colossus,
fully six-feet-seven. Yet he stoops
his head, pulls his limbs inward, like
a box turtle in a giant green turtleneck.
