She's beautiful. A (beautiful) mess.
Looks stunning in dungeons; she's french-kissed dragons.
She calls me out in theme-taverns, challenging me to duels of wits.
(the wager's my head, so I surrender: a witless motherfuckin' son-of-a-gun)
Sweet, like cider, with spider-flowers in her wild green hair.
We compare notes on psychedelics, femme boys, and Afro-futurism.
A millennial Judy Garland partying in the Emerald City:
"Bells will be ringing, for me and my gal!"
Vivacious.
So vivid, she's just--
Full of bright, neon light,
Flashy flashing delight.
A tinkering belle who'll knock your lights out,
a social butterfly flittering electric sparklers through the crowd.
-- the type of girl who knows simply everybody--
Out by 1am, away she'll go!
a postmodern pixie Cinderella
(she kept track of both tennis shoes, tho)
Off she flies, to Morocco or L.A.
And I stay.
Stay & see...

Wild Card Weekend Recap: What Happens Now?
I think I figured out why I love Wild Card Weekend so much. It's because it's the first playoff anything of the calendar year. The NFL season starts in the fall, and once upon a time, the champion was crowned either on or slightly before New Year's. The evolution of the NFL schedule has resulted in the playoffs starting just into the New Year, and currently, the final week of the season falls on the first weekend of the New Year, with Wild Card Weekend coming a week after that. So yes, chronologically, the NFL's Wild Card Weekend serves as the first playoff anything of the calendar year.
