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
