SPORTS SCIENCE

  — for Benjamin An

the human is the hand function. I used my hand to draw a horse
and you said it was not a horse. nerves cover the human and it is true
we are most often nervous when faced with a hand. the human
is a very interesting animal filled with fighting. we have two hands.

we scald and grip. delicate hands hit the tennis ball again and again.
the hand helps us create everything. if we do not have the hand
we cannot throw the rock, we cannot save the water, cannot hand
something to other humans to eat. horses have four hooves and no hands.

I drew hands onto the horse and I learned the hand makes us more
generous and also dangerous. gunpowder comes from the disappointment
of having hands. you cannot throw far, you want to throw farther.
if you do not have those thoughts, you cannot invent those things.

you told me a horse cannot throw a tennis ball over a chain-link fence.
the throwing concept created the bow and arrow, the gun, the rocket,
the intercontinental missile and the horses laughed. look at us throwing
ourselves into space. only the human hand can throw. this is a good lie

we tell ourselves but what if the throwing concept is neither good nor bad.
if you throw a rock at a human you hit them, if you throw clothes and money
you hit them. the first action of throwing is releasing. you release
open your hand to throw. hit with your palm first, an open strike.
