Game 10

CHI 96               IND 95

There is something that happens to people
Who are in love
With deeply flawed partners (and parents).

Alcoholics and addicts
And such.

There is a certain feeling--

Fear maybe,
Or resignation--

Some very real understanding
Of the temporal nature
Of everything.

Of happiness.

Of togetherness.

Broken
Twisted
Wisdom.

But wisdom
Nonetheless.

Like a suit of armor--
Heavy,
But strong.

#HoopsHaiku

Too many scapegoats.
Too many easy answers.
We needed that win.

Not quite irony:
Derrick rolling his ankle
During his best game.
