Champagne stings the eyes.
The cigar smoke lingers.
When the team again vies.
To hold trophies between their fingers.
The repeat of a dance states
That the team was the best.
Of all the other mates
They delivered on the test.
The last shot stood like a lilting song.
As six digits shot to the air,
Spectators wanted them to go long.
The man engendered excellence there.
Exuberance gushed with rapture.
The eyes of the world soaked
Up every moment to capture.
And the team remained stoked.
Though they would stop their reign
It meant that they could relax.
Some would see a different lane
And some would see more greenbacks.

Chanda sent home money every two weeks. In a small village in India, she deposited money into the bank account of her Aunt and Uncle who sent her to live in America. The place seemed so remote, almost cut off from the rest of the country. There, a festival took place where participants hurled cow eliminations at each other. The muddy, mucky sense of it had been known for centuries. Locals tied it to an ancient god who they believed restored people’s health with the cow plops. During the festival, thick patties hurled through the air and smushed into the bodies and faces of those rollicking around in the filth.

Smart phones, Humans and Aliens.
WARNING. I will be tapping into one of your favorite creative tensions: The absurdity of humans worshipping their glowing rectangles as if they were tiny oracles. There’s something deliciously poetic about that contradiction, and it lends itself beautifully to an instructive proviso.
