England – 3: Hungary – 6

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 Nineteen fifty-three: at Wembley
a devastation of those slow heavy dancers
shown-up by poetry and ballet heralding a dawn of glory
remember their names:
Ference Puskas: Zoltan Czibor: Hidegkuti:
poets of Hungarian Soccer Genius.

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 I never forgot one goal –
as the ball swings over from the wing
Puskas takes it on his insteap
swivels round, the ball still on his toe
flicks it onto his other foot shoots!

of this universal teamgame: Football!

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 A Puskas goal at Wembley in nineteen fifty-three.
