the deflections



The deflections
The goals can't fly
It gets stuck on the field
On a soggy day

The whistles and cat calls
The referee ignores them all
He has a game to play
On the water clogged field

The ball players running
Dirty legs unkempt jerseys
The faces of mud and hair wet
The referee soaks in the rain

The hands of god
The linesmen don't see
The ball flying in
Then the red flag

The referee looks
He can't understand
What's the fuss?”
The linesmen wave

The referee ignores
It is his game to play
The linesmen protest
The ball in the net

The outsiders shout
It is a foul”
The referee carrying on
The ball players run the field
