Actually the Men’s Swimming Relay was pretty hard to beat.  

  

Pressing Matters

  • I could not wait
  • but now you are here
  • I feel the weight of time
  • pushing me down into
  • the wine press of life,
  • Squishing and drowning my vanities,
  • but churning hopes, wishes, fondness
  • and tamping them down
  • into the one pure thing:
  • LOVE.
  • For you and your mother
  • are now singular
  • and wholly required
  • for my existence.
  • Exquisite souls, you
  • dance among the
  • grapes of vitality
  • pouring your vintage
  • of delicious delight
  • as I sit, mostly a silt
  • watching you both glide
  • over stones
  • as they were nothing
  • more than dust 
  • under your heels.
