Untitled.

I know it's not
any of my business or anything
but I saw you leave with her
halfway through the game.
Football helmets cracked against one another
from behind
Smacking and running and cheering
exploding from the half empty stands
coated with rain
that stopped not so long ago.
Don't you see?
You're the only reason I'm here.
But all I could think about
was how that baseball cap
didn't look quite right
placed backwards on your head.
And I didn't look quite sure
as you got into her car.
You weren't home
when I came back either.
I know it's not
any of my business or anything
but I hope all of your blondes
get you home alright.
