Something a little different

It has been a slow and depressing past couple of weeks with the United States U20 team falling out of the World Cup so early. To raise spirits, and bring back some of the creative flair this site has shown, I composed a poem for you guys about American soccer. I am predominately a fiction writer, but I hope you guys enjoy this little change up.
American Football
I’ve run the fields with
the other patrician boys
putting foot to ball
our cleats born towards
the screaming Earth
it lacerates and breaks and bleeds
and sprays on us
like something from Lucan
Do you recognize us?
The American boys
playing football?

I received my ugg boots today, very impressed. Thank you so much. They are like sort of a massive slipper, soft, easy to wear and light.
