Reaction

The first thing I noticed is that this poem doesn't contain any periods. I think the author didn't use any periods throughout the poem because, during a fast break there isn't any stopping, just like this poem. This whole poem basically used imagery to demonstrate how a fast break is done during a basketball game. The author slowed down the action of a fast break to reveal to us everything in greater detail. Even though the author gave us visual detail it made me feel like I was actually in the game.
