Vegas: Game 2

CHI 66               TOR 81

It’s crazy to me
That Bairstow and Longley are friends.
What are the chances?

Now, I’ve never been to Australia,
But I imagine it bigger than that.

It is a 

CONTINENT
After all--
Not a neighborhood.

Are all the tallest people
In this country
Forced,
By some all-powerful basketball zealot (Basketball Dundee),
Into skill camps
Behind locked gymnasium doors--
Waiting for Rodman’s visit?

Olympic village
Now a prison workshop
That makes baskets.

Or maybe Luc is
Like Hakeem or Luol?

Culture hero--
Mate to the entire nation.
The builder of hospitals
And ambassador to the world.

The earnest voice that
Delivers the fireside chat.
And wishes the rest of us
G’day.
