The Fixed Game
Just saw really tall guy in parking lot.
Small talk on my part’d involve
basketball but he was rushing.
Reminded, though, of striving
under innumerable backboards
jumping for rebounds while
his ilk stood stock still &
nabbed them. His brain
didn’t have to process much
and it’s a good thing.
Occasionally he laughed at us,
which was an effort since fat
pressed hard on his mental prowess.
So what?...if you got this far. Well
that’s what it’s like for most Americans
They jump and jump and can’t get at the ball.
The tall, or wealthy, prevent them, aided
by several sharp shooting guards, aka
Congressmen who are transitioning
to the Lobbyist League, cash stuffed
into their jock straps. So what-2?
We must invert the game. Might
as well get on with the blood-
y brawl required. Why wait
any longer? Nothing will change.
