Live-poem


I live-poemed the first half of the France-Honduras game tonight.

noisetumbling
bodies in pain, turfrolling
roundkickers everywherebouncing, polegate the focus
aiming and kneepumping, aircatching
orangegleam footboats, sunshiny grassstompers
sweatcanvas chocolate and mocha, plainpink, scratchypeach, old orange

climb, jump, one ballpusher rolls up the other's worldbearing broadness
ouch and crouch, always a legbending tripfooting
pause
hugepeople closeups but no, draw away, tinymen all-colors
dancing the stripemarble down, down the greenfuzz

beephonking, peopleroars, dull, dull, constant
now again pain, downman the body wrongbending
crowdshovers scary a muddleheap

braverunners on, on, pretzeltwist kickbodies shufflerun brightfoots
oh boxfilling shoes, upspraying grassdivot mudlets
crosspatterns, twistsprinting
multiman millipede
pain again, flatbacking ballsplatting
huddledman curlrounding, upbouncing now again
play, always playbodies

closeface now, dripnose and eyeferocious,
ballrocket straightflight, hugballman falling the wrongside
clinch, clench, happymans eachdancing lookat-us lookat-us

yellowbright scarewarner, leftbodies rightbodies
and - done.
manwalkers legs, legs, legs slowtromping now.
