Smoke and Mirrors
The Sex-Love Trap
Gardens of orange fruit,
roses of thorns that prick,
ill trees that cannot bloom,
northern night that freezes
dreams of love and friendship,
religions of torment.
Only when I saw your
radiant, beautiful
gay face could I truly
ascend to a higher
state of true love and peace
mixed in with games and lies.
Priceless pearls reserved for
rare or beautiful men.
Antidotes for freedom,
no freedom for my pride.
Angels hug me only --
very soft, in my sleep.
Poisons that make me weep,
altars of idols sent
nearby your house where cries
deliver my soul to
imprisonment within
tombs of flesh and nations.

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.
