In my dreams,
I dream about the excruciating smell of sweat,
Sun rays beaming making it so hot,
Like laying in a tanning booth,
Millions of flashes,
Like stars at night,
I hear earsplitting fans,
Making my ear drums rumble,
I trot outside like a horse,
I step on to the sideline,
I put my helmet on like a cowboy put on his hat,
I get a stretch in,
I pick the ball up and feel its leather,
Like the feel of a snake,
I heave the ball up and down,
Like eyelids,
I look at the gargantuan field,
About the size of a cruise ship,
I step on the field,
Then dwindle away,
I open my eyes,
To realize I’m back in bed.
