VAN BASTEN, 1988 by John Doak

Its essence is economy;
a masterpiece thereof and of its genre.

See him eye the flight,
head knocked back slightly in study,

drawing it down.
The 12 on his back,

a synonym of impossibility
as it arcs across his shoulder,

suddenly disappearing beyond
Dasaev’s unworthy hand.
