Game 86

Round One - Game Four
CHI 90               MIL 92

Trust me--

There is a great satisfaction
in breaking rules.

The bigger the better.

Especially in that moment--
Brief and exhilarating---
Before the consequence has been doled out.

Like blind-siding
The bully in the sandbox.

Enjoy it while it lasts.

I used to light fires--
Mostly in garbage cans--
At schools and down alleys.

I would stand there
Watching them,
While all my friends ran away.

Proud
Like a father--
Of my over-achieving child,

Who has my eyes--
And my temperament.
