fan change


  the sox....

the bronx strangle hold is broken

a new generation of fans 
           like my daughter
                      got a well deserved 
                              reward last nite 
  as the boston red sox 
after decades of
time and again
 last minute feebosity 
came from three games down 
to beat the fucking yankees 
an absolutely unbelievable 
retribution-resurection  

bean town 
queen for a day !

 ===================================


 

 and their  old fanz?

all several generations
    of them 

   numb guyz and galz
                   like me 
well now
we  can  die off 
              with a lesson 
              well learned at last:  
         nothing 
        absolutely nothing what soever
          not even 
                   tormenting failure  
                      
                  lasts for ever 




my father would have taken pleasure 
 witnessing  this liberation

this slaying 
of the hereditary nemesis 

not that he ever
personalized the sox as I once did

at any rate
  he would have had a few nice moments

 but he 's gone 
  and 
   such is the accidental 
           side of existence

his  lessons died with him 


===========================================

Like I wasn't there on the living room floor in '86, ya bastid! Like I didn't have a poster of Ellis Burks on my wall for my entire Yawkey-stricken pre-adolescence. New fan, my butt.

new first born in the sense of unruined perhaps " still fresh " would have served me better here then "new" in that some of the" older" new fans have had more then a few brushes with the old yawkey funawakee wallows no its that the "news" were not gutted by that gauntlet a testament to their toughness perhaps butsky i be gutted by it or at least thru it gutted mol tse gutted
