after the wars and football games

we meet
at the football games

AND THE WARS GO ON

we see eachothers' lovliness

AS THE WARS GO ON

and the days become
a place to wait


our time to fight

AND THE WARS GO ON

and we appear
as old men

AS THE WARS GO ON

and on
and on

as the days contract
into

nothing at all

AND CHILDREN MEET

AT THE FOOTBALL GAMES
