Matthew Anish Poet Concrete

The Season Is About To Begin

Sitting here 
in the community college 
    looking at Shawn Green's "The Way of Baseball"
I realize that
    the baseball season will soon be upon us 
Hordes of fans will cheer on the New York teams 
Ever a Met fan I have decided to see their farm team - the Cyclones 
   this year 
  Brooklyn has a replacement for the Dodgers! 
   This is a matter of grave import 
for Brooklyn - garden spot of the world 
   and for the U.S.A
