March Madness

Brackets-Betting-Point spreads-screaming crowds-cheerleaders-bellowing coaches-excted play by play.
Power moves, balletic spins, catapulted leaps, pounding bodies, long range shots, whistles, drums, chants.
Chest thumps, flexed biceps, thunder jams, tattoos, strange hair, players that look 30, others seem barely 15.
300 pound Charles Barkely, six games at once, four TV networks.
After the championship, arenas empty out.
We switch to baseball. Sit in our recliners sipping a beverage.
About the third inning we nap. Welcome to April.
