Is poetry a sport?

Yup. Is sport an occasion for a poem? Yup. Giants one up.

You thought I was kidding? An historic occasion.

Spring Training
for Paul Watsky & Willie Mays

Learning
to fly
isn’t easy.
I hear
a finch
slam against
the window.
I assist
offering
my body
a warning
track. Finch
pops up.
The season
continues
its sacrifice
catching
all things
on the fly.




Regarding food, sport is an occasion for “junk.” Hot dogs w/mustard, chili on the side. Salsa & chips. Liquids cold & various. Yum.

    The road south
    and your laughter
    in the half-lit rain
