football

Standing at the edge
of the field
I watched you from afar
as you slowly aged
before my eyes

You stopped
looking in my direction
after I threw the ball
back to you
because you thought
I was aiming at your head
Instead of your crotch

As you developed wrinkles
I took off my broken glasses
and tried to crush you
Between my fingers

You moved too fast
though
even as you approached
death
and I lost sight of
you

But I was immortal
stuck in the same day
over and over
Again
