Vegas: Game 1

CHI 84               MIN 71

I don't play with a chip on my shoulder;
I play with a log.                --Bobby Portis

Before each game,
Bobby Portis
Imagines his opponents
Slapping his mother.

Substituting their faces
Into his memories

And harnessing the anger.
Focussing the hate.
Using it.

Emotional engineering.
Alternative energy.

Make no mistake:
This is a super power.

The ability to transform
Suffering and pain
And demons and memories
Into a source of strength--

Into fuel.

It could change the
Entire World.
