My Favorite Sweatshirt
I own a treasured relic, never worn,
it's soft gray surface inscribed with indelible ink
unreadable scratchings
autographed in some secret code.This long-sleeved archive
Who signed my shirt that day?
Are they still in or out of the game?
Where went that younger me,
who knelt before gold'n green idols?
Where in my older self is the youth
who gushed in speechless awe?
evaded periodic closet purges.
Are they still in or out of the game?
Where went that younger me,
who knelt before gold'n green idols?
Where in my older self is the youth
who gushed in speechless awe?
What will become of my Oakland A's shirt
when I've taken my place in the skybox beyond?
when I've taken my place in the skybox beyond?
