There is something really there
In that idea of penitence
That's just so gratifying.
Like when you finally finish reassembling the bed
And wipe the sweat from your brow
And wait for your wife to bring the cold water.
I've had that same feeling
When I make up for an early turnover
By playing good D and banging down low.
You know what it is it's that spiritual sweat
That lets you put hands to hip
And rock back happily on your heels.
At least that's the idea, if you understand it,
But then the analogy breaks down,
Because the last thing in the world you'd want to say is
It isn't whether you win or lose it's how you play the game.
