A take on the vengeful play of one, and maybe all, teams in the NFL playoffs.
DIRTY BEARS
City of the dislocated shoulders,
Penalties protested,
Concussion discussion dismissed
And cheered over.

Our time in obsession,
A full expression,
Phony and routine;
A head-to-head mindless meeting.
And the blind don’t notice the obscene.
