Uncertainty
looms like flags of
nations flying
from taxi tops
as countries prepare for
war and elders look
upon the
young
bucks with that certain
mixture of wistfulness and
warlike
envy
Flags
the symbol of temperatures
rising like the
steam off the sidewalks and the
raw sounds emanating
from the
speaker box towers in Half E=Way Tree as
fans trade
picks and argue their
"greatest this" and
"wickedest that"
Behind the
vanguard of flag sellers all
manner of hawkers high
and low lure
the cash
out of frenzied pockets
the knowledgeable and the
numbskull
the profiler and the armchair
prophet
all
awaiting the
arrival
of the ball and
the teams
repping
nationsand
dreams
unfulfilled
