Insight into the Mysterious

There are perhaps more continuities than I would care to admit between life in Istanbul and life in Los Angeles, but one discontinuity is sports: Because of the time difference, the nightly summations that would have rounded up a day in Los Angeles become breakfast chaff. And it's a shame that it's so difficult to find live basketball at any other time than the earliest morning hours.

All of which is to say that a friend included this poem in an email about something very different and it reminded me of, well, home.

Into

even the
perfect
jumpshot

can't match
the perfect
pass

for insight
into the
mysterious
