"And in basketball season
without any reason
but a blind boy's joy,
he take the kid to a game
and he be-bops words
i the blind boy's ears
about how two players
fell on their rears,
how the ball beats the boards
and rises and s-o-a-r-s..
then falls through the hoop
to the crowd's loud cheers--
and the boy sees what he hears."
