Jonathan Hayes
A Green Monster Grins
the ball is carried by the left field wind
over the bleacher wall
-- six umpires convene like monks in black robes
to declare a home run, and the beginning of the end
of the suffering for the Red Sox
and their fans.
Four-Game Sweep
And wasn't it great
when the curse
was lifted
during a lunar eclipse
in
St. Louis
of all places!
