The Loss

Sports
are all about gloriest moments
that always build on
those gut-wrenching
heart-broken opposites
the more humanly prone
truth of "chokes"

Without the contrast of
lost but never forgotten mistakes
they will be no thrill of sports

Only the sports
magnify and dramatize
the win and loss in great publicity
makes it so so hard
on the player on the lost side

You could onlu wish
the zenful gratitute to the opponent
could reconcile any loss
