Confusion never stops
Closing walls and ticking clocks
The hours travelling to and from training
The years expended perfecting the skills
The months left in pre-season
The agonising wait for the undrafted nominee
The period left to get the big trade done
The weeks spent in rehab
The seasons left in a career
Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
The age between flags
The decades of disappointment
The years of false hope and near misses
The minutes before the opening bounce
The seconds to decide the next move
The moments remaining, one point the difference
The time left more or less than satisfactory
