I raced to the Garden,
my old stomping grounds
for a basketball game,
cheering for the Celts
swarming on the court,
shooting for three so many
times
I thought I would lose my
mind
Quickly, running to Fenway
I watched the Red Sox score
another run
the crowd went crazy,
under the cloudy sky
but the athletic catch by
Jeter,
brought us to our knees
A soccer ball of black and
white
fell on the stadium field
The Revolution were fast,
righteous,
The midfielder made a
dangerous slide,
onto the muddy field
daringly taking the ball for
a goal
His kicking of the ball
like an end zone celebration
no words of the Bruins or
Patriots yet;
That is for another season
another celebration, Boston
sports,
a major league obsession
