RICKY HENDERSON

was born on Christmas Day

in 1958

 

For 25 years

as a Major League

Baseball player,

he reeked 

havoc, heroism

humor and hellfire

like no one before him

or anyone 

after him

His career began

in Oakland

and he died there

two days ago

Rest In Peace, Mr. Henderson

The Trevanian Buff 

is a strange and wonderful creature: 

an outsider, a natural elitist, 

not so much a cynic 

as an idealist mugged by reality, 

not just one of those

 who march to a different drummer, 

but the solo drummer 

in a parade of one.

There Ought To Be A Law Regarding ...

________________________________________________________________________________________________

... Anyone capable of 

photographing a cloudscape

such as this one ...

The law would require

the photographer

to gather six people

at the scene of the shoot.

 

Everyone would gaze upon 

such majesty

 for thirty minutes

without saying

a single solitary word

to anyone else

This world suffers greatly

from a lack of silence

and contemplation

 

I can state this with authority

because I am

a 5-star motor mouth
