The World Cup as Minimalist Poem

those crisp empty boxes have

been left there for the imagination to

fill up with mind stuff

 

for that kid in the park,

alone with a soccer ball, a good one,

one his grandma bought for him

 

for the World Cup

he gets past Maradona, yes, Diego

Maradona. Horton is ahead of him,

 

Tim Horton, in goal

charging hard, forcing his shot wide

for the goal of a minimalist poem

could be donuts, for Grammy

to take the whole team out for donuts

filled with mind stuff
