World Cup

Football is a game they say 

put the ball in net 

while half the world is in great pain 

needs food, meds, shelter etc. 


Our bb net much smaller

round and higher up 

indoors so there's shelter 

if nature interrupts.  


I enjoy the people 

go crazy at the games 

their joy at moments 

lights the room 


in 8K color

great.  


Then the manic turnaround

despair when losing games

like Egypt Argentina 

it is kind of insane.  


Imagine if the goalie 

got it in his heart 

to demonstrate priorities

made more sense


a start.  


Like a monk in Vietnam 

set himself on fire 

to protest a crazy war 

becomes a funeral pyre.  


So the goalie has the ball 

while someone runs his way

tosses ball to him sits down

no longer wants to play.  

 

Doesn't set himself on fire 

doesn't crash a plane

just sits down and meditates

the world is blown away. 


Oh! A little fantasy 

I'm heading back to bed 

plan to watch the game 

of course


own goal might work instead.

Waiting To Reappear

 I had a state park pass that was stolen, appaently, off the mirror in my van.  It was a LIFE pass, good for geisers, who do not have enough...
