and so the curtain closes what once was is not and never will be again. Damn football its just a bloody game and its just a bloody oval, dirt, grass and few blumbling stands. oh and there is the ghost of dad standing there under the clock, smiling, dancing his jig, God love him he loved his bluebaggers. oh and Pop's over there too, his scissors in his hand, he's rushed across from Lygon street again to see the boys play. And then there's me as a lad, surrounded by men, the cans wobbling beneath my feet, my kneck stretched up, I can see, I can see Ragsy!!!!!! and brave Gary Crane and Quirky on the wing and and its just a ground, just dirt and grass and toliets that sing with urine drenched mouths. and there I am as a young man standing with my brothers, all of us singing wildly this GF evening as another flag is brought home! And there I am with Keith standing, always beer in hand, and watching Kouta and SOS and dear beloved Motley flying. But its only a ground just dirt and grass and and I feel like a friend has passed...... |
