~Max Kpissay, Class of 2027

Whoosh! Oh, what a word.
Whoosh! Soaring through the air, like a bird.
Whoosh! I shoot the 3, I swish it,
It’s not my 1st or 2nd, but my 3rd.
The cool air whooshes up through the gates in the park.

I shot the basketball, it whooshed through the air, with an arc.
See what I did there?
Maybe I’m just too good, maybe it’s just not fair.
Whoosh! Oh, what a word.
Whoosh! Oh, what a word.
