Open to Judgement

Watching my favorite teams, rooting for victory— not just a lackadaisical fan, but one who feels
tethered to their successes and thrown into a forlorn state when they flounder.

To be a fan is to endure highs and lows, disappointments and euphoria,
moments that straddle the globe and others that sink beneath the seas

I am not a fanatical fan, but I do talk to the television, suggest when to change pitchers,
and second guess coaches

But I’m also a realist and reluctantly accept that we can’t win every game, take home the trophy every year—

Sometimes I fear that I am a fair weather fan.
