Mud and leather
dirt and nerve
bloodied laughter
collision to serve,
distance, drive and demolition
battle axe ambition in the wild air
muscle and mind joined in steeled instinct, 
a stitched pigskin ball, the grail of the Fall
to fumble it means...

My Dear and Special Friend
Deep inside of my folly, a

My Irish melancholia

You’re here, I am not sure why

"Let's Make America Great Again!" *Sigh*
Great catch phrase! But...It's a ruse!...It's a lie!
Let's put the cards on the table! Shall we...Why?

(alternately titled: Whew...
so glad I chose absentee/ mail-in ballot),
and agitate (poetically)
November presidential election
brings requisite equality.

Unforeseen (unprecedented)
stiff competition with protesters
crowdsourced within major
Pennsylvania metropolitan areas
necessitating president

to confront inconvenient truth
he (whom even

must trumpet forth progressive

With the right guidance words will trigger memories
From anger and rage to double personalities

I ain't gonna brag, boast, blab...,
lest yours truly suffers demise from backstab,

Lying against the floor,
The faces I love stood upon me,
Hypnotised by images that I adore,
The brightest of light envelopes the scenery,
Gazing against gravity as I evaporate,
An intense emotion submerged,
A vibration noticed, it escalates,
Espied my last...

It was my favorite treat on the Fourth of July.

Elvin and Leroy were baseball players
From the time they were six years old
And best friends since the early days
A million baseball stories to be told

I actually cussed, which I rarely will do.
Hastened to consider my excuse rather quick,
I needed a story to make this not stick.

To think that some false knowledge has been amended

Unsteady breezes warm then cool the surfaces of me. 
A muffled jazz number escapes a high corner of the awning covered bistro.
