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

napping with the shorter days and earlier nights

starting a new week with a sense of hopefulness

needing not only time but for time to move back

missing the days when the networks were more heartfelt
