They cut the fog like ghosts
amidst ghosts.
Their lives are lived too fast
to accurately photograph.
The list of"also ran" grows.
And soon almost new,
the almost men,
barely teens,
are men in the least,
men soon at the most
like ghosts.
This, the earthly mist knows,
and even the end zone
can never hold them
forever close.
