put me in the minor leagues
I would not know what do with all that money from the majors
I do not seek the Yankees or the Cubs
I am not a party animal, do not fancy myself a celebrity
Do not need a mansion or my own airplane
The minor leagues is fine
Can you hit a ball? The scout asks.
Not sure. I have never tried.
The depth of the blue
in the sea
leagues and leagues
beyond
the airy blue
of a pristine, cloudless sky
I tear myself away
to keep my eyes on the road

i dove
to the depths
of her
ocean where
phosphorescent
fish have become
grotesque
there is no
sun in this
dark water
womb
giving
birth to
what on earth
there are two
two lip fish one
horizontal the
other vertical
this is
the worst
to come upon
its very
nature
is to
seduce
even
worse
then the
Medusa Jellyfish
as it opens its lips
with something
thumping dangling
from above worm
like and glowing
so that the unknowing
sees and wants to
taste pleasure but
never to receive for
the worm hardens
bringing you in not
noticing the plump
lips closing slowly
as if a
Venus
Flytrap
caught
in its
snatch
no time
to come
Summer arrives and the Brooklyn Cyclones are
in first place
Saw them the other day and they won in twelve(!)
Just spoke to a friend
who wants to see the Staten Island Yankees play
Another A - Division team
Some fans won't go to see a minor league game
I think they are missing out
When in Puerto Rice I saw the San Juan Senators
play the Ponce Lions
A band in the stands and liquor being served as well
Didn't need any intoxicants - the green field, the cheerleaders
and the frozen ices and hotdogs along with the battle
were enough to sustain me during the hot New York City summer
