Round Two - Game Six
CHI 73 CLE 94
I used to savor things more
I was great at enjoying things--
Almost competitive
Milkshakes
That I would drink as slow
As I could
Letting things linger
Every step of the way
Like one of those
Bike races
Where the object is to come in last
Wobblingly
Teeteringly slow
Swooping close to the ground
But never falling
Almost in denial
Of the rules
Of physical science--
Of the temporal nature
Of all things
Bullieving I could make a moment
Last forever
