Prompt: Write a poem about either a specific routine or routines in general.
SEASONAL AFFECTIVE DISORDER
The beginning of a new
season revives the spirit,
like a clown handing a child
a bright new balloon
that will pop five minutes
after he gets it home.
Being a Mets fan
from the Bronx
requires a thick skin
quick wit, and high
threshold for bitter
disappointment.
Being a Jets fan
anywhere, post-1969,
is simply masochistic.
