eulogy
don’t get into hockey
and if you do,
don’t look beyond the star players
don’t fall in love with the fourth liners
the third wheels
the second fiddles
because they will only break your heart
over and over again
ignore their pain
ignore every year lost to high hits and slewed feet
ignore their blood staining the ice
ignore their shattered bones
and broken dreams
ignore them when they are cast aside
do not ask where these beaten boys came from
do not ask where these mangled men are going
don’t wipe their tears
don’t stitch up their slashed chins
don’t promise them a home
that isn’t yours to give
and above all,
when you do:
don’t look away

Some things happened to me in my formative years
that I don't want to tell you about
but some things happened to you too.
