The Crossover

Man to Man

In the driveway, I’m

SHAKING AND BAKING.

You don’t want none of this, I say.

I’m about to TAKE IT TO THE HOLE.

Keep your eye on the ball.

I’d hate to see you

You shoulda gone with your GIRLFRIEND

to the mall.

Just play ball, JB shouts.

Okay, but WATCH OUT, my BROTHER,

TARHEEL LOVER.

I’m about to go UNDER

COVER.

Then bring it, he says.

And I do, all the way to the top.

So SMOOOOOOOOTH, I make him

drop.

So nasty, the floor should be mopped.

But before I can shoot,

Mom makes us stop:

Josh, come clean your room!
