| "Throwing the Bomb" Watercolor by Jan Barry |
Super Bowl Sunday.
A classic clash of football titans.
The ultimate razzmatazz of pigskin pummeling.
My wobbly right knee often sharply recalls playing this game
decades ago in great delight despite incredible pain.
A high school classmate at a reunion years ago
enthusiastically remembered seemingly every move in every game.
I’ve forgotten most of the details, but my body still feels the pads,
the cleats, the helmet, the uniform, the hard smack of blocks and tackles,
the exhilaration of running and maneuvering until smacked to the ground.
And so it went on the crowd-roaring road to war.
Choose sides. Cheer, cheer, jeer:
Throw the bomb. Destroy the other team.
