Dr. Rath sent me

a slice of

South Dakota sky

and I hereby present

an oblong of sunrise 

lurking over

the Long Beach Jetty

There's a poetry

in repairing

the carburetor

of an automobile,

even if the kid

repairing it

can't spell 

carburetor

He Who Sits At Right Hand Of Leo Durocher ...

________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

 

 

Willie Mays 

sits at the right hand

of Leo Durocher,

—his mentor and manager—

 

The young man

in the baseball uniform 

is laughing loud enough

to be heard

≈seventy years≈

after the photograph

was taken

  

 

Willie Mays is laughing

because 

—in 2026—

he sits at

 the right hand 

of God

I'm Laughing To Keep From Crying

________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

 

If 

one-and-only-one 

Song Title

 could be tattooed

to my forehead,

it would be 

I'm Laughing 

To Keep From Crying

 

It was originally performed 

by

 The Isley Brothers

 

If

you are unfamiliar

with their music,

all you need to know 

is this:

 

To describe them as

"Legendary"

could result in arrest

for understatement

 

The Brothers

are still performing 

!!! 

However,

I'm Laughing 

To Keep From Crying

requires a warning:

Anyone over the age of seven

listening to this song,

should have their

head examined
