The Lizard Age

Common lizards and cockroaches love my room nowadays
They are especially in love with the terminal winter season
They are so severe that I cannot see Messi with a little ease
In the Argentina, France live world cup soccer on television
The moment the first French goal brought me to my feet
A lizard bites near the knee making me croak in a sharp pain
To infuse a few children in the blood I give up on the football
Get into writing this eight line prose poetry on the lizard age
