Super Bowl Sunday - March 14, 2022

voices through open windows

prickle my ears

like fog at dusk

before an ear-splitting roar

drowns a drunken laugh

cheers clash with groans

some lottery luck before

a punch to the gut

stolen gold re-stolen

then silence

no breathing

a nail being bitten

life or death

120 seconds

two minutes

for a fate decided

forgiven and forgotten

buried deep but never

deep enough

for the injustice collectors
