Concussion
January 11, 2019
I kick the off brown leather ball
towards the awaiting opponent
The glaring opponent
catches the pigskin with a quick reaction
I run down the green turf field
with tunnel vision for my foe
We both brace for impact
our forceful helmets collide with each other with a booming crack
My pale opponent lays flat on the turf
on the ground looking a daze
I slowly get up
as I hold my weary head
and jog to the sidelines
I sit down on the metal bench and take off my helmet
To have men in red study my head
As the game ends we win 14-0,
I walk off the worn field and ride home

This is the time when I played football and I wanted to reminisce this experience in a poem.
