The Covid-19 Sequel To The Most Famous Television Tear

________________________________________________________________________________________________

In the parlance

of long ago,

the Crying Indian,

—rowing his canoe

through a polluted lake—

was an astoundingly famous

TV ad from

the Nineteen Seventies

That was then
but today,
the Corona Virus
is a much bigger problem
than pollution

It is the third week of Spring
but not one major league
baseball game has been played
this year

And there may be None
for the entire 2020 season

So, I have an idea:

Today, May 6th
is Willie Mays'
Eighty-Ninth birthday
 

The Covid-19 sequel
to the "Crying Indian"
"Crying Native American"

should feature a tear
in the eyes of
Willie Mays
—while he walks across
an empty baseball field—
 with 50,000 empty seats 
 and not another person
in sight
