Crazy-Legs

Crazy-Legs

was an earned nick-name

as a high school

football star

at seventeen ran like the wind

quarterback carrier

student girls loved him

skinny Paul

deftly darting between hulks

of opposing players

sadly so his career

ended with a leg injury 

but his headlines followed

him to graduation

then to the working world

as a school janitor

where football chatter

& memories almost get lost

in school corridors.
