Redskins

i used

to know all of their names,

Sam

and Sonny,

Riggo

and Darell, Dexter

and 

Art,

Joe and Russ,

but then the name changed,

cancel culture took

over,

the song died,

the stadium

moved,

the players got old

and new

ones arrived.

more coaches.

higher ticket prices, and

losing seasons

stacked

onto one another, 

decades of

defeats all lined up in a row.

funny how you

lose interest

in childhood games,

silly pride.
