1241 

TRADED FOR TOM SEAVER

Implicit in the exhaustive catalogue is the poet's
Commitment to deny herself the sin of omission. O
Admirably precise manner of speaking! You betray
A history of suffered vaguenesses, a plasma cluster
Noted as an addendum in the appliance pamphlet
The little birdie hops across en route to the seed
Scattered on the carpet next to the hand of the collapsed
Narcoleptic. Try harder! they shout from the bleachers,
To which the players reply, how much you pay?
