FOOTBALL JOY

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 Pele goals stitched on sun gold kits
Football shakes up the day
As I awaken Maradona dances to disappear
Ah lead me once more to a green pitch
Down careworn streets paved with kids kicking footballs
Lead me by the laces of Zico, to prisms of joy
And football.

Notes

Based on the concepts of Jazz Poetry a la Langston Hughes and Bob Kaufman.
