On January 31, 1965
there wasa moment of silence
at St. Luke's Church
in Whitestone, New York.
The Priest was a graduate
of Power Memorial High School.
The Power Memorial basketball team
featured the greatest prep school athlete
in America: LEW ALCINDOR.
I had already mourned
the loss by boycotting
the homemade waffles
my Mother had cooked
that morning but
I surreptitiously ate
an O Henry candy bar
in my Father's car
on the way to church.
However, I did NOT boycott
the free wafer served during
Holy Communion
despite having chocolate-stained teeth.
