Game 70

CHI 108               TOR 92

Game ending
Big win
Looked easy

Their players
Smiling
Hugging
Just as much as ours

Grateful
It is over

Tables turned
I’d be enraged
Disgusted

Instead
I feel sad
Almost

Little boys
Getting up
Laughing

Scraped-up
And confused
Knowing we all
Saw them fall

---

Four Haiku

Seven foot point guard
A chess grand-master playing
With human pieces

Sometimes games go right
Those ones are easy to watch
I wish there were more

No way around it
I hate Tyler Hansborough
The New Jeff Foster

Hateable players
Less hateable on your team
Loveable even
