All Of My Pictures

On picture day
every year
I would make sure I had a haircut.

I would make sure that
my uniform was tucked in nicely,
my socks were pulled up,
and my cleats were clean.

"Ball in the right hand
chest high
chin up
and
say cheese!"

And it was right then,
every year
that I would think to myself,
"Self, I should smile instead of trying to look tough."
That's why the face I'm making
in every football picture
looks like I'm farting.
