PIRLO...


Pirlo

His expression betrays
Little but the bother of the lank hair,
Or maybe the irritation of an itch
In the depths of his swarthy, bearded face...
Sanguin.

His gait displays
Little in the way of an imminent dash,
Or indeed an injection of urgency
From the sinews of his lean, embattled limbs...
Languid.

His distribution arrays
Little of the congestion of midfield hustle,
Or, in fact, the intimidation of a tackle
By the spoil of a mean, destructive rival...
Adroit...

Andrea Pirlo, the Italian and Juventus midfielder.
His calm demeanour haunts soccer.
Genuine talent.
