    Mourning the Super Bowl

    In another life
    Things would have been different.
    She would've been on the treadmill 
    Watching the chiefs win the Super Bowl
    He would've been in the living room
    Watching the nightly news 
    She would've hollered,
      "Jim! They won!"
    After that overtime play 
    Played out.
    It's so odd to think
    That that reality only exists now
    In my memory.
    That's how it was 
    For 60+ years
    And then one day,
    Grandma left.
    And ten years later,
    Grandpa died.
    Now that reality no longer exists
    Or ever has the opportunity to again.
    Even the house lies empty,
    Stripped bare,
    The lives lived there all but forgotten.
    In another life,
    We would've called him
    Yesterday
    To sing happy birthday.
    He would've been 82.
    He would've bought the cookie cake.
    He would've sent me a meme this morning. 
    I don't wake up to memes anymore,
    But the chiefs still won
    The Super Bowl.
    He didn't turn 82,
    But we still bought a cake for him.
    It's odd how the world kept spinning
    Even after his stopped.
    Even after the reality that was 
    Ceased to exist,
    The first time,
    And then forever.
