THE AGUERO GOAL
The champagne was
almost in my mouth
when
you phoned to tell me
about the Aguero goal
four minutes into
time added on
that last
match of
the season
and me cursing and spluttering
we should have brought
that man
brought that man
and now there is
a statue to him, and
now
they have won everything
fairly or (yes)
very unfairly
they can whiteout
that moment in the books,
redact
every painful
final second
but
burnt so
deep
try
as I might,
I will never forget
