Beyond Madness
Villanova shot seventy-nine percent, transformed
Ewing from repeat champion
into frozen envelope,
and broke a decade
of statistical certainty.
Since then, I circle the higher seeds
knowing they winÂ
seventy-three percent of the time,
yet still rehearse the math
as if the line cared about hope.
