i remember The Tennis Court Oath by john ashbery. i remember The Gate of Infinity. i was there.

don't know what i learned about tennis or infinity, but now i have tennis elbow and i didn't play.

my dad introduced me to tennis but it didn't work. then he died and introduced me to infinity. no, not really.

will you just open the gate please? he likes to trot around the court and then he goes and stands by the opposite gate, knowing.
