All your teams are fictions—
Potent fictions, yes,
Life-changing, often

Life-ending fictions, but
Fictions, nonetheless.
Not just others’ fictions—

Your teams, your fictions,
Interchangeably fictional,
However you feel them real,

However you had no choice
In being assigned to them,
However real their effects.

Your teams themselves are fictional
And each of them equally so.
