This page keeps testing basketball as a contrast between indirect action and direct effort, then judges both against the feeling of being grounded.

The draft energy matters here. The speaker is working through alternatives, one way versus the other, and the value of letting someone else act versus doing it yourself. The final turn toward `your feet on the groud` gives the page its emotional base, because it connects play back to steadiness and truth.

A handwritten reprise that distills the sequence's central antithesis: 'Looking one way / And having some one else do it, / Or Looking the Other way and your doing it'. It then returns to the recurring touchstone - 'Sometimes it is good to have your feet on the groud sometimes, it's not' - so even the wisdom is left deliberately two-handed. Source spelling 'groud' preserved.
