the game has changed

the big game

isn't what it used to be.

you care less and less about

what grown

men are doing

playing a child's game.

overpaid, over muscled.

over hyped.

a game you played

too.

it's a carnival now.

one about money.

it's a show, a glitter bomb

of celebrities.

it's no longer the game

you played,

the game you loved

on an old

beaten school field,

in the rain

in the snow.
