That I Am

Interviewer: “Kawhi Leonard, who are you, man?”
Kawhi Leonard: “Kawhi Leonard.”

I’m that taker of worlds, I’m fade and fire,
that lane from the line, right place right time.

I’m that left-handed dunk, swivel to the cup,
sledgehammer jam, sweet in both hands.

I’m tonight’s top kawhilight, that ball 
got up high, I’m Kawhi slices by. 

Kawhi not? I’m LA in my sleep, back 
to back threes, sauce ‘em to the rim 

with 2.9 in, a fun guy. I’m latest 
from Leonard, emphatic slammer,

out the right corner, dunk over two, 
calibrate the move, all the way in, swoop 

to lay it in, swing-in from the wing,
I swallow the lockdown and it is good.

I’m that nameless totem. That That. I am.
I am what you are and you are what I am.
