well
I'm not focusing great

ever since I started
THINKING 
ABOUT 
FOOTBALL 

I find
it has all this 
FAMILY 
stuff 

I GUESS 
we were a sporty
family 

my AUNT JOAN was
the DRIVING force

BUT 
my dad
almost never watched sports

I remember asking him about it 

I WISH I could 
REMEMBER 
EXACTLY 
WHAT 
he said, but I'll give you
MY UNDERSTANDING of his 
FEELINGS

he was living
EVERY DAY
with
physical reminders
& it just wasn't 
THAT 
FUN
to watch
he could watch it
BUT 
he just wasn't THAT into it 

I THINK that was
I'm seeing the 
APARTMENT 
we lived in when I had the chicken pox
so I was in second grade 

we ONLY lived there
ONE year

I had NOTICED he
SEEMED to KNOW about sports
BUT 
he didn't seem to 
PAY much attention to it

ANYWAY 
I'm having all these
FEELS
thinking about football
