Hockey

MAN ON!” — “WELL IN!” — “GO TO!” — “MINE!“
The orange ball flies down the line
Remind­ing me: I’m not the sort
Of per­son who can play team sport
I never really under­stood
How hit­ting balls with bits of wood
Could stir up any real emo­tion.
Sud­denly, goal-line com­mo­tion
Inter­rupts my train of thought
“I’m telling you, it’s long not short!“
The play­ers argue, bicker, fight
Tooth and nail over the right
To punt a sphere towards a net.
A need to win I just don’t get.
