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.
