Do you ever get mad
and want to
hit something?
was always the proposition from
my high school coach to play
on the senior football team
I slumped back
on the bleachers
with Suttree bent over
Which of course
yes I do
because what if
we’re undressing in
the locker room
and I get to take a peek
at the tuft of jocks in
compression shorts
or dangling cocks
at every ass
I’m not supposed
to look at
I tended to think
of myself first
with everything back then
But anyhow
that would be playing
football for selfish reasons
so I didn’t accept
that particular offer
Besides
now I don’t believe
I could have ever hit something
in a world that was never even bad
And I don’t worry
about football as much
anymore
