original team lost in space
current team lost in space
(with a friendly rival)
a bit older and wiser
after our many years
spent in the stratosphere
as we
got ready
to begin
the amazing race
an action-adventure
road rally
scavenger hunt
charity
event
in support of the
cancer support community
of ann arbor
and we were all over it
convincing a dog to wear a crown for us
running through the law quad on central campus
in the middle of graduation and a wedding
figuring out morse code
pictograms
word puzzles
scrambles
using clues
pushing the legal limits
to find places all around town
all in four hours
and there were
moments of passion
and high energy
and we became
‘very spirited’
and
had to
make a video
perform a song
complete stunts
unusual tasks
try not to get arrested
solve mysteries
as a team
each with our own strengths
and challenges
and
we came in
27th out of 35 teams
on our path
it was all great fun
as a group of longtime friends
who’ve traveled through time with each other
we learned a lot
about each other
the spirit of adventure
and
the power of giving
and
i was so glad
we didn’t have to
eat any bugs.
