FIELD
Perhaps football really is the only goal,of the subconscious and conscious too: two parts
quite simply because a match requires two
teams. At some point half of your neurones consciously
represent a ball, as big and heavy as the head itself, in which
beyond your control the olfactory memory grows of
newly-mown grass: the field. First the ball wins, you see it
so sharply before you, down to the stitching of your leather
skull. Then the unconscious grass perception scores, fills
your brain herby green until it almost snaps and only
the tickling of a sheet along your cheek causes a
a resetting kick-off, which will make everything possible
again.
VELD
VELD
Misschien is voetbal écht het enige doel,ook van het onderbewustzijn en het bewuste: twee delen
enkel en alleen omdat een match twee ploegen
vereist. Ooit stelt de helft van je neuronen bewust voor
een bal, zo groot en zwaar als het hoofd zelf, waarin
groeit buiten jezelf om de geurherinnering van
pasgemaaid gras: het veld. Eerst wint de bal, zie je hem
haarscherp voor je, tot op de stiksels van je lederen
schedel. Dan scoort de onbewuste grasgewaarwording, vult
kruidig groen je brein tot het haast knapt en slechts
het kriebelen van een laken langs je wang al veroorzaakt
een resettende, alles opnieuw mogelijk makende
aftrap.
