World Series Game #7

folklore justice

We'll be busy again
tonight but not
with what we want.

It's good to have something
nice to put between you
and the driver of the vehicle
or any of them who move too slow
too fast in the dark.

Can't believe it, hey?

Get out of the vehicle.

"We got what we deserve,"
he told Linda and she agreed
with him and put down
the phone and tomorrow
in Missouri will be the start
of a new era for a percentage.

I feel like an idiot because I read the comments below and clearly I'm missing something obvious. It's a nice poem despite my anatine intelligence at the moment.

Nah, I'm pretty obtuse sometimes. All Kansas City/St.Louis material relates more or less directly to Michael Brown.

[The Twin Arenas]

Kansas City/St.Louis/World Series material, I mean.

[Meraki]

Oh.. well now everything makes sense

[The Twin Arenas]

haha. i bet. I don't know. I'm trying to to sort of make big sweeping vague feelings of feelings happen. like the reader feels something, and it feels like something, but what it is, that thing is sort of like, fleeting or something.

[Meraki]

You achieved it. Now that I get it. Yea.. it's great.

New era for percentage in Missouri indeed. I happen to wrench my eyes for Detroit, Missouri was in my dreams

[The Twin Arenas]

Michigan has it's own s**t. Understandable.

[Cory Barrett]

so much s**t here

[The Twin Arenas]

I know, man. I mean, I guess I kind of do.
Once upon a time Joe Louis.

I am so far detached from the real detroit, i cannot even pretend to know their pain. That city was never real. It was making money for the greedy, and when they left so did their money. Millions lived off of the ideas of a few, and so the unions go... and so they will always. Men in the moment.

very interesting piece...and being a rabid baseball fan...i like the use of the World Series, and how it mirrors life or life mirrors it....in your poems.

[Crusty Pizza Stain]

That was a great game. Great series

[Love Nik]

Sometimes I wonder if it takes you much to write. Yours words always seem so free like they just spill out. Great job

[The Twin Arenas]

takes much. thanks, nik

Here in Detroit. Few of us cared. I looked up the score. I wanted K.C to win. Tire of the west coast always winning. Deserved or not deserved. Baseball is done till 2015. Always a pleasure to fall into your words and thoughts.
