I am reminded of his legacy,
Through the media events.
Where he opened doors
In a professional sport,
among many malcontents.
While learning about his struggles,
I became certainly more impressed.
As he surpassed in my mind,
Images of Bo and Deion . . .
He was truly blessed.
I don't know of any other, that
Could skillfully perform in so many ways.
While a collegian, with Football, Basketball,
Baseball and Track & Field . . .
I mean Jesus, there's only so many days!
As an athlete, receiving the
Accolades, while garnering the
Endless, admiring looks.
He must have mastered the
Space-Time continuum, if he
Was ever to hit the books.
This is why #42, has moved up
The list, as the GOAT to number one.
Since he was responsible for so much
More, than his ability to outrun.

a frozen rope
the metaphor inflames, excites our hope
but we've had a shortage of freon
ever since the days we helicoptered in Deion.
