Question

Can someone paraphrase the poem Foul Shot by Edwin A Joey in your own words on each line:

With two 60s stuck on the scoreboard
And two seconds hanging on the clock,
The solemn boy in the center of eyes,
Squeezed by silence,
Seeks out the line with his feet,
Soothes his hands along his uniform,
Gently drums the ball against the floor,
Then measures the waiting net,
Raises the ball on his right hand,
Balances it with his left,
Calms it with fingertips,
Breathes,
Crouches,
Waits,
And then through a stretching of stillness,
Nudges it upwards.

The ball
Slides up and out,
Lands,
Leans,
Wobbles,
Wavers,
Hesitates,
Plays it coy
Until every face begs with unsounding screams--
And then
And then
And then,

Right before ROAR-UP,
Drives down and through.

Answer 1

I'm not sure how us putting it into our own words helps you, but allow me to provide some advice. What first comes to your head when you read that line, what picture is painted in your mind? think about the meaning and the story of the words and the poem in a whole.
