43-8

Reading Mark Mill's book The Savage Garden.


43-8


The game has made me wrong
I don't know what to say
I feel silent

Watching tv alone
Reading
Sound on, sound off
Feeding my dystopia
Wandering my savage garden

It's on again, put down my book
I remember wondering, is it true,
how some know the final score
from the game's beginning
I didn't
I still thought we might lose

Half time
I thought Denver might pull it together
How to know
A third quarter
It wasn't until fourth quarter,
I realized we would win,
But continued watching, reading,
Wondering what to feel
And then it's over
43 to 8

The game has made me wrong
I don't know what to say
I feel silent.
