ENGLISH SOCCER HOOLIGANS

Folder: 
MEANDERTHAL MAN

 

Interpol actually

keeps a list of soccer hooligans

I think I’m on the list

for some reason

 

but maybe

it has to do 

with misadventures in Amsterdam

 

I always seem

to be 

inexplicable drawn

to English soccer hooligans

 

I get off the train

at Centraal Station

and it takes all of 20 minutes

to fall in with the bloody lot of them.

 

No explanations

No justification

 

The worst part:

I’m half Irish

and I’m filled with self loathing

shortly after the fact.

 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I'm not really on Interpol's list of soccer hooligans--at not as far as I know.
