This last day of summer is
also the first day of football season, with ESPN’s Game Day crew in town to
broadcast IU’s victory over Ohio State. It seems a logical day for this poem…
It is a curse
to be good at everything
but not good enough
at anything
to receive a high five
from the best
who huddle close together
showing us their butts
as we who are but
good cock an ear
to catch a phrase
we might use
to call a play
at some far time
on a field of ragged grass
to gain the end zone
no one knows is there
