We were sure they'd win

We'd been saying all week

Whenever we did something

"against the Chiefs!"

Like it was a

Magic charm

Like we could keep our team from losing

The Packers already lost

Our second pick, Papa's team

Couldn't disappoint us

Now

But they did

The room grew dark

And then darker

Our eyes glued to the screen

As the sun set

And with it our hope

The game went into overtime

Back and forth

We paced

The ball flew

Farther and farther

Thunk!

We lost

And I went into the kitchen

And poured my water bottle

On my head
