Run the Play

A Sonnet

I watch my boyfriend win the football game,
gets in the red zone, running so swiftly,
for his cougar mistress over fifty,
I have to say today was a good day.
I only got drunk late into the night,
after Cedric got his nut, went to bed,
its been fifteen years that you have been dead,
and all that time you have not left my sight.
With Cedric every day is a wager,
this was a man grew up in Little Rock,
with brothers cruising, shooting up the block,
and all I can see are dead teenagers.
	Got my running back, we run the scramble,
	that’s where I learned life is worth the gamble.
