March Madness
march madness
and twice already
the temperature
in new england
has topped 80°
but it's not too hot
what a three-point shot
to top it off the salesman
with the front row seat
in the arena the guy
who sold us our electric car
now hangs out with a new crowd
wears a black t-shirt
with white letters spelling
drill baby drill
he seems to be in a particular rush
after the shift of power source
to get to mars to launch
his projectile into the stars
to escape the fatal crash
he told us after the purchase
will inevitably occur if
we keep driving with autopilot on
i got the chance at half-time
at the concession stand
to buy him an orange slush
i thought it would be
a nice gesture of conciliation
a salute of sorts to his new boss
before one of us is gone for good
