Persistence of a Dream
for reasons I couldn’t explain
or simply chose not to
I kept having a dream where
it was the third quarter of
the Super Bowl and it was tied
when suddenly the
president of the NFL
casually sauntered down
one side of the field
and slung the head coach’s
clipboard and headset off
along with all he’d built
and directed him to a chair
he told him he was there to
serve a new coach now
but must be invited to
give feedback
next, he pointed to a random
fan and told her the game
was in her hands
before resuming the
time clock
after striding back
to his glass viewing box
…. play ball!
