march madness

the games have begun
t.v.'s and radios everywhere
tuned in to basketball

brackets filled out
and thoughts of winning the pot
however small it be

me?
i picked Duke
an unpopular choice
in the land of Kansas

Of course, I’m really rooting
the wildcats on
and would give up ten pots
for them take home
the trophy

a nice diversion
it has been
since the snow and wind started up
again




*I wrote this post yesterday before the games; my condolences to my wonderful KU friends on the disappointing loss. The Hawks had an amazing season.
