inside out

I’m told that all i’ve got is the inside out

where my forehand has greatest penetration

I’m told i have poor footwork

slow plodding steps

feet that plant too early

so the coiled seed of my body unfurls at the wrong place

at the wrong time

and i drive off my right foot

rather than my left

which completes the imbalance of my nomadic architecture

its not that the ball disobeys me

its that it can’t understand me

the force of my desire dissolves in the transfer

what’s left is flighty and disoriented
