~ Down, Set, Hike ~
2/13/22
~ Kevin ~
Down you went.
Nothing to circumvent.
What you underwent,
I forever lament.
My life spiked.
I must have the wherewithal
To withstand that curtain's call.
So we're told,
But I wasn't set
To forever part with my greatest asset
Not prepared at all to deal with it.
Yet here I stand. Still.
Dreamlike, deathlike,
So far I must yet hike
Alone and dethroned,
Ghostlike, dreamlike
Now forever bemoaned.
My counterstrike unbeknown,
I swipe tears and groan,
And I go on.
I must make it to that end zone.
Today is Super Bowl Sunday. For some that means gathering together, grilling, and eating a not-so-small amount of food, while for others it just means another lonely Sunday without our loved ones.
If you have the chance, go spend it with friends and family; enjoy yourself. Maybe even allow ourselves to laugh at a commercial and ignore crypto ads. It's okay to be distracted. To let go of our grief.
Come join us otherwise.
