going my way

I might
have confessed already

I used to do my homework
by
Monday Night Football

which ran longer
than
primetime typically allowed

I might
have
paper
pencil
later pen
typewriter
while

on my own
I worked through ersatz responses
to
assignments that I’m sure would have
gone better had I
allowed the proper
situation

such as
a cell in a scriptorium

yet here
I am
years later
with tinnitus
and so
doing the same
as
when Cosell told me
that they won a game
they did
not
deserve to win

which and whom
my brother
Rick
liked
to cite and recite
