Huddled like a hermit scribe <br />heiroglyphic scribbling <br />adorning napkins, notepads, and computer <br />the intricacies of offense and defense <br />schemed and simulated <br />many times over remembering <br />each Sunday's opponent <br />over and over the stick figures play <br />the energy of the crowd in his ears <br />as he attempts to find within himself <br />the elements of victory.<br /><br />Stephen De Marino<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/monday-night/
