Hoops in the Alley: 2011

Every day after school and through the summer and until it snows again, there’ll be hoops in the alley. Those brown leaves will fall and the tree will sprout new green ones, the lilac will bloom and fade, the days will lengthen then grow shorter again and the neighborhood kids will perfect their shots. Perhaps one of them will be the new Air Jordan. I’m sure more than one of them thinks so.
