chugging the black coffee as the dark noon hangs on

resting tonight after the game from yesterday

fleeing from the need to go under the limelight

finding no time even when owing none to others

stepping away from the keyboard for a short while

letting the tides take me to wherever they crash

reaping the windfalls as they come not so often

jamming folkways by staying far away from them

seeing the win thirty-two years ago today

bringing back to mind the home run that won it all

writing this down a week before the halloween

gearing up for tonight's first game of the world set

finding the weeks going by so quickly these days

waiting two more hours before the start of game one

feeling alright and not seeking more from this team

wielding things and time together as they go fast

taking a trip to the big town for some big thrills

getting ready for another big game tonight

wanting it all but then losing some of it all

strapping up yet again to go back up north

buying some sundries for the long fall week ahead
