A RAPTUROUS RECEPTION FOR THE JERSEY HAS TAKEN PLACE

Melted ice circles the tip

Of the first drawn drink

Spilt beverage, and two

Soaked beer mats of froth

Beside ripped plastic packaging

Fuse with the fizz.

Behold the jersey.

Deep blue and white.

Held in palms, held by stares

That express true surprise.

The window is black with dark

And our silhouettes contrast

With the white of the frame.
