THREE POEMS

 

false amuse

bear after sing-sing
also Conway Twitty.

 

 

Baseball

commiserating from tooth to tooth
the NY Post want to be buddies.
it says, "the baseballs feel
for each other."

 

 

"Call us a fraternity,
because that's what we are"

Dips into the stock

poison on the hatchet
turn the turning wheel into a balk


Harnessing the blood
