CHI 96 MIN 89
Sitting at the dinner table,
Want to watch but I’m not able.
Hopefully I’ll catch the end,
So I can help my team to win.
Want to watch but I’m not able.

CHI 86 CHA 98A New Orleans funeral march
is a strange thing Happiness in sadness-- Sickening and comfortable Deep tradition 2nd line Dancing on misangled knees Herky jerky like a crip walk Through a city-- drowning Waiting for a savior who just never seems to come all the way back. CHI 87 MIL 71Two Haikus about Tony Snell By Stacy King He’s making it hard For Thibbedeaux to divide Up all the minutes. I’m tellin’ you, Neil-- If you give this kid minutes, He’s gonna produce. My mother likes Tony Snell
Because of how he looks-- "So beautiful. Like an Ethiopian prince." I think this really means she likes How black he is. I once challenged her to learn the name of one white Bulls player. She chose Pau Gasol-- From Spain. CHI 112 PHX 107Fourth Quarter--
Down. On a slow path to victory. War-wearied soldiers Watching their reinforcements-- Recognized by the seams in their uniforms-- The shine in their boots-- The hunger in their bellies. Striking range. There is no more glory in defeating than in outlasting. CHI 91 DET 100Trade deadline.
A weary mid-westerner, Named for a hero Of someone else’s yesterday. Reggie Jackson Prepares to step closer to the spotlight-- To emerge from the shadows. Meanwhile-- A home-coming. Tayshaun No fanfare. It isn't in him-- Never was. In suits-- On sidelines-- Just before. Potential energy Bubbling. Turning kinetic. Rising like waves-- Overcoming us. |
