Futbolistas desaparecidos* (Óscar Hahn) Después de haber hollado el frágil césped de esta efímera tierra, de esta cancha en la que alguna vez todos jugamos, los futbolistas desaparecidos están pisando un campo inmarchitable en la región donde no se vuelve. Juegan allí un partido sempiterno. Con la pelota inventan una danza, una voluta, un arabesco, un triángulo. Toma el balón Garrincha, se lo pasa de taco a Ferenc Puskás que acelera y lanza al arco: súper atajada del arquero Yashin, la araña negra. Giussepe Meazza inicia el contraataque. El Sapo Livingstone emprende el vuelo y desvía un misil vertiginoso. Stanley Matthews la cede a Fritz Walter. Este gira, dispara y da en el poste. Salta Obdulio Varela y de cabeza la coloca en el rincón de las ánimas. Las estrellas fugaces, los cometas, los asteroides copian en su curso cada jugada de los futbolistas.
