Gollllllllll Poem by Juan Olivarez

I have seen soccer players
Shoot goals through
Windows in five story buildings.
Off walls onto an escalator
And into a waste basket.
Off a thousand foot cliff
Into a trash barrel.
Off an airplane
Skydiving
Through a goal.

So I ask you
Why is it so hard
For Soccer players
To score on the field?
Is that the reason for the
Prolonged GOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL?
They MUST enjoy that special moment.
Heaven only knows
when it will come again.
