Lasso
Have you seen this show
called Ted Lasso?
Interesting, for to me
it is one of only a few,
scattered art pieces
released
in recent years that
makes me feel loved.
But you
were unmoved?
Yes. I think it’s absurd,
and completely out of sync
with reality.
Not unmoved,
more annoyed.
As a character,
Lasso’s unrealistic.
He’s void
of selfishness,
and focuses his
attentiveness on others.
Absurd!
I’ll never give
credence to the notion that
in any world,
this Texan born male
could thrive so far away
from the Kansas
home he’s made,
and relocate
across the pond,
where he bakes warm, fresh
biscuits for a manipulative blonde.
That’s part of his charm.
Like his name he disarms
you by lassoing you in
with helpfulness instead of harm.
