The Soccer Revolution of 2014


Characters:


American Spanish


Ethan: Goalie Marco Oscar Lupe: Lyle

The clouds are celestial
puffed like cannon smoke
dusk has come, light departs
The town is peaceful
filled with happy hearts.


Dusk is extinguishing the light of day.
A battle erupts on the soccer field
Mexicans vs. Americans
the magenta sphere flies
Mexican vs. American
battle for the prize.


A scramble
The score five to one
Mexicans trump Gringos
until the game is done.


Dillon overshot
His steel toed boots he blames
Tom putts the ball stalling time
Goal-l-l! …. America two to nine.


Back and forth
Porky kicks the ball.
Ethan, cheats and uses his hands


Injury, abrasion
The winner battles on.
The gringos put up quite a fight.
The game is tense
and battles on into the night.
