HAIL MARY!

Folder: 
AMERICAN ZEN KOANS

 

Hail Mary,

full of grace.” 

The final seconds 

and miles to go for paydirt

 

We heave a missile 

toward the end zone;

receivers dash thru enemy turf

jockey for position

 

eyes cast skyward

the trajectory of the bomb

last gasp shot; final lunge

 

Hail Mary,

full of grace.”

let my receiver

haul in the miracle

 

missile descending

in final desperation

to snatch victory

from certain defeat
