Terza Rima




The player dribbles the ball up the field
Swerving through defenders like a pro player
He is ruthless and takes no attempt to yield

But for this player, this play is not quite rare
His practice had prepared him for this moment
He rips the shot past the goalie by just a hair

No one had seen a shot of that skillful placement
He soared through the air as if he had wings
The players rejoiced in front of their opponent

They stood in a line with their trophy arising
On top of the world, this man unbeaten
But his time as a hero was dwindling,

He returns to his home of a life so barren
For all this man needs is a close companion
