It was his way of supporting his team:
of showing his appreciation
in a voice louder than he possessed,
and a form more majestic
than a little boy in black robes
and no father he knew…
But no-one cared about stuff like that,
attracted to the banner over his head
like a moth to a flame…
Maybe they wouldn't have cared either way
but he could cheer from them all
without them staring at him
and him alone.
