Enigma Weekend Edition: Poetry by Zach Wade
"The Final Game"
by Zach Wade
Walking into
the rink
going into
the locker room
seeing all
your teammates
knowing this
is your last game
with your
friends
your parents
coming out to watch
getting
ready
focusing
listening to
music
going over
game plan
walking out
onto the ice
first puck
drop
of the last
game
you realize
you have to
win this
game
the most
important
game
of your life
playing with
your
best friends
and
knowing that
even
after the
game
that the
team’s
bond will
last
the rest of
your life
and
you win the
final and
most
important
game of
your life
by scoring
the winning goal.
