Football more so than Basketball
I hadn't much love for football
or sports in general
I chose Clemson University
as my college in seventy-nine
though I never attended.
Not a clue what I wanted
or where I'd go in life
those Clemson Tigers
was the winningness team
everyone talked about
so it's what I put down
for the yearbook
I never purchase.
Away at college
thin and pregnant
I picked the LA Lakers
for the winningness team
in eighty-six
before giving birth
my first child, a baby boy.
Football more so than Basketball
became my love of sport later in life
to mend a bond
that’s broken through and through.
Striving after the wind
grasping for down feathers
hidden behind the missing moon.

to be honest
I find this very confusing, but somehow very heartfelt and meaningful. I think i'll come back to it and read it again so maybe I can understand the reason behind the beauty. a lovely write.
