Super Bowl –
We’re gonna turn it over
tip it over
pour the contents out
into a baking pan
turn up the heat to 360
to bake together football’s ingredients
of people running on TV for millions –
doing what we did for fun at the school recesses.
The taste, when done baking and cooled down
is metal, Pop Rocks and bloody veal.
The build up of gas in need of release
explodes into die-hard obsessions to keep on tasting
the tackling of
and not losing to
the opposition
called Sadness.
