The most important thing we ever learn at school is the fact that the most important things can’t be learned at school.
- – Haruki Murakami
Campo de Fútbol de Vallecas
Brick tenements gaze.
Terrace drums pound, rhythms beat.
Christmas fog descends.
The Opel
Midnight clouds at noon.
Santa hats spackle the stands.
Scarlet scarves warm them.
An Old Man’s Game
Bengay fills the air.
Mangled meniscus, chilled bones.
Ailments won’t stop us.
“I mean, it’s like we all get our raw materials from our families-but it’s up to us whether we build bridges or bombs.”
– Antsy Bonano
From a Neal Shusterman classic – The Schwa was Here
Track Jackets and Beanies
Frosted morning grass.
Rusted goalposts stand alone.
First twenty two play.
