Super Sunday

Screeching hawks and bucking broncos
wouldn't ever have a reason to compete
in life. They do not share a habitat or
eat alike or ever mate but on this day,
we aren't concerned so much with nature
and reality. Seattle Seahawks versus
Denver Broncos waging that very special
type of war fought in a stadium, the agile
handling of a football making megabucks
for bookies and commercials. Pick a team
and grab a brew or two or twelve and pass
the chips and salsa, have a bowl of someone's
special chili that will be so good you have
to ask him for the recipe and find him sitting
on the porch,with all the guys who like to smoke
cigars. No party here or chips or brew or chili
but the sound of football fills the household
even now, and tip-off's hours away.
