but together we took our kids to the big game
she sat in the stands, head buried
in a War & Peace sized romantic tome
oblivious to cheering, and booing
around us
At the end of play I ran with the kids
onto the field
met players, collected autographs
while she finished her book
sighing as she closed the covers on the handsome hero
Who won? she asked, when we returned
Pity she never noticed the hunky referee
who gazed up from the sidelines
smitten
