Tinker Evers and Chance
their double play romance

Ty Cobb terror on bases
also with many faces

if Babe Ruth played today
can't imagine his pay

a D-H for sure
his homeruns were pure

baseball and fantasy
for me it is easy

baseball's my desire
my juices on fire...

Sometimes I ask myself the ifs.
I ask the whys, and when evers.
I never ask myself why I wonder.
Was Eve really that gullible?

Point...of...view...
What a wierd phrase
Stating the obvious.
None the same, it is important.
If everthing was 'normal'.
Life would be boring....

lucidity waves wash over until lungs full of vision drown

drowning in never evers of forevers without measure of end or tether to solid ground

disorientating kaleidoscope images whirl, tricking tunnel vision into the peripheral

“F Bomb”
By Nate Spears

I got the heart of a man name Malcolm
The visions of Martin Luther
The tongue of Emmett Till
The brains of Medgar Evers

Can I get a window seat
Away from defeat
Can I get park for the kids to play
Next to the spot
Where Rosa refused her seat

Langston in my pen
Proud, young, and free
Handsome and intelligent
The government targets me
First,
In a second
My history is a blessing
The court system in racist
Society shows the traces....
