Jeez, dude next door—
I heard all your (yes, I’m using
this word) ejaculations,
such repeated hollering that
only one thing, I imagine,
could warrant such an outcry.
But an hour later into my
news feed comes the headline,
and I remember what
a football fan you are—
in which case I think, if
watching someone make
a touchdown on TV does
that for you, I hope never
to hear you roar in ecstasy
should the other thing
take place in Apartment 1
two yardlines outside
my living room window…
Or wait. For your sake,
maybe I do.

Love this!
Thanks, Chris! I’m happily following you to Substack land!
Well, Janis, this is a bit spicy! But you know, fans have to do what fans do, regardless of the sport!
Well, yeah, I guess they do… though I don’t know from football like you and Ms. Cora. But carry on, my friends!
