I felt like crying
it came like a ripple through the head
like a puff of wind on a stillwaterpond
it came
gone in a moment
a moment of passing
a fleeting pass on my mortality
the thought never ending until
we reflect on our own
reminded by the passing of another
his job
to keep the ball out of the net
our job to see
be there
and now no muddy shorts
referees whistles
Pelé with his head in his hands
Gordon Banks dead at 81
an icon gone in a mad world
