A June lyric

Awash
in reflected sunlight
who would believe Charley
had never before been to an
American baseball game?
Hopeless on Canal
as Barca's charge careening
comets into plateglass
tropicalis
Charley on the mezzanine -
A drummer on the side
in a jazz combo
decidely Old World -
will make a feast
knock off every bowler and gray suits at the ticket
counter
bull run from seven cities
and seven corners of the isle
- skull capped bishops and the seventh inning
Charley was misdirected
There ought to not be
Behind Knossos sank
fearful Jesuit.
