Saints 31, Colts 17

Drew Brees drops back in time

to let the receivers loose & whips

the spiraling ball downfield.

So much care in the plaything,

the object of joy a fathomless

human gravity without error,

a dance and a battle, armored

as the defense revs up, the offense

outperforms the plenary reaction

and our journey continues
