and They Call it Murderball

and They Call it Murderball

A Poem by Jay Steitler
"

A trip down a wheelchair rugby scrimmage, through my eyes this afternoon.

"
I arrive at the court, with players alight with high dreams.
Who will be the hero; who will eat the hardwood?
Begin scrimmage! Orbiting friend and foe
Meteoric sphere called out, coming down from the heavens.
Catching, part glove, part jaw, 
CONCUSSION, as the ball meets capture. 
Rocketing downrange, player seeks Key.
Offensive tackle has my back, bashing the great opposers.
Crashing! Defense down, and...SCORE!!! The whistle blows. 
One knows he's only as good as his last goal. Moving on. 
Begin again.
