Mansions scream out. Tents
hide beneath the canopy.
Light rails dart above.
An online commonplace book
Mansions scream out. Tents
hide beneath the canopy.
Light rails dart above.
Bengay fills the air.
Mangled meniscus, chilled bones.
Ailments won’t stop us.
Frosted morning grass.
Rusted goalposts stand alone.
First twenty two play.
Jack-O-Lanterns rot.
Red bellied squirrels wander.
Dortmund four points clear.

THE Spanish derby.
The difference? Joaquín. Had the squad rapt, reciting some pre-match poetry and asking are they not entertained?
Comes on, scores the winning header.
The mayor has spoken.

El Cholo. All black everything. Black shirt, black tie…

Match Day 25
Antoine Griezmann is a #19. He holds the ball up like a hulking #9 and playmakes between the lines like a #10.

Match Day 24
I already miss my first sips of coffee at kickoff with Jorge Perez-Navarro yelling “It’s soooccccer timeeeeeeee.”
I already miss William Carvalho trotting around Portugal’s midfield with a Ballon d’Or worthy stache’
And I already miss Saturday morning pickup soccer. When the World Cup hums on in the background of our lives, we all play with an extra bit of pep.
