my knowledge of soccer is of dribbling and David Beckham

but I google the score at halftime so I can share in the reasons why you care

Listen to you rant about the penalty in the third quarter

and all the words translate in my head to tell me that you’re talking about sports, about something I don‘t understand

But you listen to my questions

about teams and plays and rules

over and over again

every time we watch a game

and that’s worth more than winning to me
