Goalkeeper

Goalkeeper When there is a football match on the TV I switch it On the last ten minutes of the match my boredom threshold Is low and to sit there watching the game for ninety minutes, really! I used to play football as a boy, goalkeeper of all things then I grew up and chased girls instead which often was painful Like accidently falling in love, that happened frequently. Falling in love is painful walking into walls and being nice To children related to the object of my adoration Then the pain of being rejected long walks and dark thoughts Under a night sky, bittersweet flagellation why did she leave me. This too ended now I`m a goalkeeper again defend the goal and try To save the ball death is kicking my way
