We
Are A Happy Few

we
a few, we are a happy few
we
out there and we kick ball
we
do it in sunbake or snow
there’re
a world of fans
there
are franchise, stars and GOAT
but
we have our own pitch and goals
sweat-soaked,
toasted we are
gasping
air, nut-cracked we try to laugh
we
pour water over our heads, we go on
vortex,
frigging freezes to the core
some
mane-hair studs still strut in shorts
our
spartan hearts and climber’s soul
we
jeer, we gloat, we make faces
we
fake injury, we cry foul
we
smell like zoo but we are cool
we
a few, we are a happy few
we
out there kick ball
we
do it in sunny and in snow
Note:
trying to draw nature side of athletes, people who live their wild side, strong characters in sport, not they beat their opponent, but they compete with themselves, the inner struggle. also avoiding the usual clichés of sports images and terms like spotlights, rocket shots, or piccolo range melody of dazzling dribbling movements...O, boring vain glories, but the true sexy athletic, live, organic, like smell of zoo, I dont know I think the smell of zoo is really cool, every time you go to the zoo you breathe the wild sense, all kinds of animal, dam urine, poop, sweat, protein... excrement particles in the air that's so exiting, same sense as you walk in the range farm, chicken, ducks, geese, goats, sheep, pigs, cows, horses, dogs on the pasture, they smell better than supermodels in some kind of perfume magazines, those stupid sample papers kills part of our brain :) Iliad's awesome setting is the beach, salty sea winds, solders roast boar by their campfires, corpses burning on the pyre, rotten corpse leave to wild dogs... exhaustion, drunkenness, senseless laughs, and war sport games shows listeners the state of being. Also the fun parts, that boy characters of grown men, sort like Homer's teen-like gods and mischievous heroes.
