Tim Peeler - "1968"

Was the Year Denny
went ITZ
like nobody this side of the century
with a curve that tumbled like an alcoholic bronc buster
and the blazing chance of his fast one challenging,
coming up Kaline, Northrup, and Cash
going deep on the other end,
and happy Mickey southpaw
attending in the gut shadow
of Cobb's old stadium to a Gibson-Cardinal series,
while the world went to hell in a body bag
on the six o'clock news.


Touching All the Bases
