In the morning the dew forms
The air begins to warm
There is a slight fog
Flowers bloom and sun shines
In the hospital a man lays in wait
Waiting for the doctor to give him news
The doctor walks in with a grim look
The man will not make it past this cancer
Outside children play basketball
This is their first chance to do so in the warmth
The court is moist and the net is ripped
A boy shoots the ball
The streets are packed with cars
People on their way to work
Exhaust fumes pumped into the air
As the machine in the hospital flatlines
The ball goes into the hoop.
