The Chair

Noisiness neighs your code,
Loud, braggadocios, belching
Shouting sentiments and prophysying plays 
As your body disintegrates
And dredges your kidneys fail and your legs lilt frail 
Yet you claim life loud and braggadocios.
The football game gimmicks
The baseball booboos all acclaimed and assessed by you
Whose own health waivers with lesions and machines
Mitigate your blood as you shout loudly, “I told you”
To quintessential quarterbacks in your dreams
You chair the channel surfer of your mind as the
Games grab headlines heralding from your hurting heart.
