“How are poets able to unzip

what they see around them,

calling forth a truer essence

from behind a common fact?

Why, reading a verse about

a pear, do you see past the fruit

in so transcendent a way?”

Listen to the hype
analyse the body type
prognosticators talking heads
like they know what is ahead

League champions ready to clash
up and down the field in a flash
superstars who want to shine
the winner sitting on cloud nine

A game designed strictly to entertain
no fret, no strain, no taxing the brain
the alternative to watching the news
the game, to bad, someone has to lose.

ME and the Boss
