sanama

sharp facial structures

and their shadows in the early morning light

a company of police officers expecting football fans at the station

never before were the warm rays of light so determined, invading the helmets,

blocking the view, making the cops sweat

and as they run around the platforms with their riot gear

i think of how exhausting it must be to perform violence during this season

––

the football fans with their songs

if one were to dress them up in riot gear

they would easily pass as cops or as a battalion of soldiers going into a battle

––

homogeneous sea of confused riot helmets

see how their movements ––

how their songs unite

and how the act of policing becomes irrelevant

––

through the absence of aggression

the two parties, inseparable like a great mass of sunday dancers
