No, it isn’t
half-time in America –
it’s the fourth quarter
and the two-minute warning.
The Good Guys
are catching their breaths,
but they’re behind by three scores
and the contest is lost.
The owner has slipped
from his glass-walled box
high above the playing field
and the bleachers.
He’s already sold
the team to the Red Dragons
and is flying to his seaside villa
in the Cayman Islands.
