"This Is Going To Sound Silly, I Can't Be Sure"

________________________________________________________________________________________________

The title is a quote from
a major league baseball umpire

who made book-ending history

on September 28, 2008.

That is the day
the New York Mets

played their LAST GAME 
at Shea Stadium.

One of the umpires
for that game was

Brian Gorman.

 Mr. Gorman made history
that day because when
the Mets' FIRST GAME 
was played there on
April 17, 1964,
one of the umpires
was his father,
Tom Gorman.

The elder Gorman
was such a celebrated umpire,
he numbered amongst his friends
Bob Hope and John Kennedy.

About the New York Mets
first game at Shea Stadium,
the younger Gorman said:

"I think I was there,
but this is going to sound silly,
I can't be sure...
I was only 5 years old at the time.
I have this vague memory of being there,
but I don't know. We went to
a lot of my father's games at Shea.
He enjoyed working games here
because it allowed him to stay at home
after all those trips and hotel rooms."

In 1964,
staying at home
for the Gorman family
referred to 6th Avenue
in Whitestone.

They lived less than
three miles from Shea Stadium.

I know this for a fact
because the Oliverio family
also lived on 6th Avenue
in Whitestone, at the opposite end
of the block from the Gormans.

Another friend of Tom Gorman's
was Sam Oliverio, my father.

This is going to sound silly,
but I can't be sure...
My father once had a twenty-minute
private conversation with Tom Gorman
while I sat on a bus bench
and picked my nose
for the duration.

I can't be sure...
maybe it was only ten minutes
and maybe I didn't pick my nose.

Maybe I just waited for my mother
to get off a bus.

I was ten years old at the time.
It was 1959.

The year Brian Gorman was born.

Sixth Avenue in Whitestone
–between 149th Street
and 150th Street–
consisted of twenty four houses
on each side of the street.

Those houses looked very similar
but their exact twins were 
directly across the street.

The Oliverios lived directly opposite
these three 6th Ave homes.

The Gormans lived eighteen doors
west of them.

The tree you see used to be third base
when we played stick ball in the street.

In 1961, Tom Gorman
umpired one of our games
during which I hit three home runs,
the longest of which landed
on the Gorman's lawn.

Please accept my apology
but that fabricated sentence
was  too nostalgically beautiful
to NOT be told.

However everything else on this page, 
is gospel truth, unsure memories included.

With Great Surety + Perfect Logic

________________________________________________________________________________________________

Look at the way I've been treated lately, 

specially by the media. 

No politician in history 

—and I say this with great surety— 

has been treated worse or more unfairly

Donald Trump 
(5/17/17)

     

Of course, no President

has been treated worse

because Trump 

is the worst President

AND THE SCARIEST

AND THE MOST UNPREPARED

  AND THE LEAST PRESIDENTIAL

Salads Made With Circular Syllables And Toxic Phrasing

▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽

Number one, there’s great responsibility. When it came time to, as an example, send out the fifty-nine missiles, the Tomahawks in Syria. I’m saying to myself, “You know, this is more than just like, seventy-nine [sic] missiles. This is death that’s involved,” because people could have been killed. This is risk that’s involved, because if the missile goes off and goes in a city or goes in a civilian area—you know, the boats were hundreds of miles away—and if this missile goes off and lands in the middle of a town or a hamlet …. every decision is much harder than you’d normally make. [unintelligible] … This is involving death and life and so many things. … So it’s far more responsibility. [unintelligible] ….The financial cost of everything is so massive, every agency. This is thousands of times bigger, the United States, than the biggest company in the world.                -President Donald Trump

public space with static.

That is like having the air
we breath filled with 
carbon monoxide.

Midnight Madness With HER Country Boy Named Chris

________________________________________________________________________________________________

The moon ran ahead of them,

it shook out a lapful of stars

One of them swooped down

into a meadow,

others followed dizzily

Chris had to stare fixedly

at them to hold them 

in their proper orbit

Each time he winked

stars jumped about restlessly

while the moon bumped

up and down 

on the horizon

A rubber ball

in a game of jacks.

Did You Hear The One About ... The So-Called Free Elections?

________________________________________________________________________________________________

The candidate receiving  nearly three million less votes
from the electorate was declared the winner.

Let us call the winner 

The Big Enchilada.

 
Mr. Enchilada then selects an elected 
representative from Georgia
to be in his posse cabinet.

Let us call the representative 

Lap Doggy.

Mr. Doggy then leaves
his Georgian constituents  
un-represented and the state
has to hold a special election.

Eighteen candidates
vie for the position
vacated by Mr. Doggy.

Candidate Y receives 
more than twice as many votes
as the second place finisher
and fifty percent more votes
than all other candidates
combined.

Guess what?

Candidate Y 
was not declared
the winner...

What A Country!

From Bebe's Homage To My First Cigaret

________________________________________________________________________________________________

September, 1961

The summer is over therefore 
the Oliverios return
to our winter home

in Whitestone.

All those wonderful

summer days and nights

in Rocky Point

will have to wait

another year

to happen again.

The school year began
the next day.

Sandy Rosenblatt and Michael Catera,

my two best friends in Whitestone,
greet us upon arrival.

I did not have to help
the family unload the car
because my friends
were anxious to take me

to Whitestone Park

Where we navigated our way

behind many bushes.

Thirteen, twelve and eleven

are the ages of the three boys.

Sandy is the youngest.

Michael stole a pack

of cigarets from his Father

(or maybe it was from his Mother).

Sandy had a silver lighter

monogrammed with

his Father's initials.

The two of them

had been smoking

all summer long.

I was a twelve year-old
tobacco virgin.

The two of them

were much much smarter

than I would ever be
because I said No
to breath mints
after losing my virginity.

I was too busy coughing. 

When I get home,

the smoke was on my breath

and I could not deny what happened.

It was a Sunday.

***

The next day my punishment

was meted out by my parents.

From Solomon's Candy Store,

school supplies for me

and my sister, Linda,

were purchased.

Mother and Father Oliverio

demanded, as a punitive measure,

that I had to carry

Linda's school supplies

home from two blocks away.

I had to carry ten pencils
instead of five and 
four notebooks
instead of two
... 

Michael and Sandy spent

the week mocking me

for two reasons:

my "punishment" for getting caught

and my inability to inhale a cigaret.  

________________________________________________________________________________________________

Footnote

Every word of the above is pure fact,

including the names of my two friends

whose parents were never informed

about their son's tobacco transgressions.
