HARTFORD WHALERS
There
used to be an ache
Where
you once lived,
O
Brooklyn Dodgers
Of
my own
Mythology.
But
now, as years
Progress,
and middle
Age
leaves less
And
less
For
sports and
Other
Imitation
passions,
I
find you are
Preserved,
Near
perfect
Like
a memory
Of
youth
The
awkwardness
Removed
By
sanctifying graces
Of
nostalgia.
Like
me back then
You
cannot lose:
Frozen
in a
Picture:
The
Civic Center
Arms
raised
In
victory
Over
time.
