Tossing a coin before the Rose Bowl
Is a communal prayer to Eris.
The spinning coin../\/\/.o0o.o0o.o0o.

Dervish,,,
Dancing:::
For the... Goddess of Strife.
Watch!
You might See
A sphere of edges;
The concentric radii of milling
Mirrored glimmers of
Stadium light...
Reflected colored jerseys...
Mascots and totems...
A shimmering skin of photons
The texture of all likelihoods
Rolled into a ball.
In spin
Head and tail
Become One.
Mullet?
When Eris has had her way with him
The Dervish lies spent.
Between the wrist and palm of the
Field's highest moral authority.
The call to Eris is made;
A question asked by the Assembled;
Pledged to her will.
Every fan calls to her in a different way.

In this ecumenical moment,
All prayers are answered.
There's consensual satisfaction.
The deed of the Dervish
Is a ritual deed.
His spinning for a communal need.
To grant a boon
To steal a choice
We must speak
With a Common Voice
So the Dervish prays of Eris
That she take her leave
And all the Strife and Discord
Hidden up her sleeve.
The umpire gestures the will of Eris.
A Stadium of supplicants
Shout praises to
She who fixes Fate.
The ump pockets the dervish;
A piece of loose change
Clinking, "Wow, what a ride!"
