Baseball Memories On a Snowy Evening
The green field
spread out
in front of us
The smell of beer, pretzels, hot dogs
The cheers from the crowd
memories flood through me
on this desolate winter day
Slush on the ground
Cars whizzing by
I sit here on New York's
fabled Lower East Side
and remember good times
at the ballpark
Mays, Shamsky, Kranepool and above all Stengel
Names which light up the sky
for thousands of fans
in this metropolis - Baghdad on the Hudson
my home - NYC
