Lord Coe calls for more compulsory schools sports to capitalise on Games
i, 7 August 2012
Finding the measure of Spanish light
I see hands reach up, out of the blue
to slap a two foot sac of breath
across a pontooned net,
youths more at home with PS2s
leap like salmon and, whooping, splash
back beneath the surface tension,
the space between sports and games.
