Equipment bags strategically deployed
Demarcating territory
Temporary lodgings
Tribal bivouac
Scattered sweaty fragments of our gear
Jackets draped across the chairs in the
Vain hope they will dry
Before DEs
The cookie box, proffering
Sugar courage
Consolation, solace
Well-earned rewards
Here we gravitate to trade
Encouragement, advice and news
Touch, hug, fist-bump, offer
Sympathy for unjust calls, hurrahs for victory
They strike the strips and
We decamp as well, scattering
Debris of battle
Candy wrappers, bits of tape, a crumpled list of scores
It will be bigger, better, bannered at the
Next stop upon our migratory route of competition!
