And hardly worth watching until the last few minutes
Life is not soccer, with the grinding running running running up and down
Life is not baseball, a set of counted chances that run out
Not tennis, where we face those who serve with a steely eyed dance
Not the ping pong of right and wrong
Not cricket, because who knows what that is
Life is the staying on the balls of the feet, the footballs
Where the whole time matters, but unless we are outmatched, the last quarter is most exciting
