Watching the Parade
The Knicks parade was on TV
And that was close enough for me.
I cannot even blame my age;
I’ve hated crowds at any stage.
Yet for the celebrants, most young,
They loved it all, to be among
Their fellow fans, all there to cheer
Their favorite moment of the year.
To see their heroes and unite,
No politics, which might incite
Divisiveness, so very wrong
When fans all seem to get along.
The festive spirit will not last,
For from examples in the past,
We know it isn’t “if” but “when”
Hostilities will rise again.
