22 | "Carrying a pigskin" [pantoum]

All the huge forms
near-lethal combat
digging up storms
being-in-a-spat
near-lethal combat
carrying a pigskin
being-in-a-spat
earnest they will win

carrying a pigskin
distance-fastidious
earnest they will win
acting invidious
distance-fastidious
trying to suprise guys
acting invidious
creaming the smallfries

trying to suprise guys
brutally charge through
creaming the smallfries
lucky it's not you
brutally charge through
these are the norms
lucky it's not you
all the huge forms
