You can’t put a price on an education.
The vision should be bigger than the sport
but you can use the sport as a catalyst.
Chris Mullin
The art of being elusive.
You walked in the gym after being a young thug.
The coach sees right through you. He breaks you
down into nothing. He teaches you technique but
the truth is. You have now become harmless.
Time passes and you experience new faces.
One person says. He’s animal. He should be in jail.
Not a word from you and say to yourself with tears
in your eyes. “That was me”.
That unstable street thug is harmless to you.
You are NOT some fella from a bar or party your
body drug user. He doesn’t do drugs. He doesn’t
have any addiction issues. You got him so mad
that he resorted to violence and he started doing
this the only way he new how.
The women are clinching there purses when I walk by.
I need a haircut and after they’re now standing next
to me on the train.
The street lights are on. I have to go home.
We hit the guy with the cigar in the pizzeria.
We got a piece of the pie and moved to the burbs.
Look who shows up.
