PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

There was joy

on Broad Street

a bus full of football players

rolling down the Thorofare

triumphant like gladiators

earning praise from Caesar

and drunken hooligans alike

A fool tried to scale

a greased up traffic pole;

People sang a fight song

reveling in the moment

Strangers occasionally stopping

hugging complete strangers

ecstatically lost in the moment

and one can say

results of a game don’t matter

and in the grand scheme of things

they would be correct

but for a few brief moments

we’ll just forget all that

and exult the triumph

of a glorious Sunday one February
