    I do not want a plain box, I want a sarcophagus
    With tigery stripes, and a face on it
    Round as the moon, to stare up.
    I want to be looking at them when they come
    Picking among the dumb minerals, the roots.
    I see them already-the pale, star-distance faces.
    Now they are nothing, they are not even babies.
    I imagine them without fathers or mothers, like the first gods.
    They will wonder if I was important.

Chatham was a game that we easily could have won, but we allowed them to score with one second left. You just can't allow something like that to happen at the end of the game. Against Falmouth, I really like the effort we put forth against one of the elite teams in the area. We played right with them for a long stretch of the game, but we eventually just got tired and they took advantage of our mistakes.
