apathy
The crowds were screaming
One side of the stadium
in orange and blue
The other side in red and white
Thousands upon thousands
standing, cheering, doing the wave,
screaming for their favorite team
Pom pons were waving
So were flags, banners,
Not one person was silent
Except for one
He sat between the roaring crowds
his grey shirt spilled with beer
from the overzealous people
next to him
He didn’t care
He just sat there
wondering why these people
enjoyed this so much
