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.
