Sonnets Down The Stretch #1

1.

Do we know how little we know about tomorrow

which happens to be February nineteenth,

the last day to trade in the NBA?

That knowledge is a problem like the view

from the foot of one of several volcanoes.

At home one can always wonder what

about is not home.  The volcanoes always think

through vents or altogether beneath detection.

There is also a major employer from the middle

ages still reclining in her office,

smiling as though a private joke has flown

through the incredible view; even her

credulity is strained not at the rumors

but the very possibilities.

Wonderful work!

I’ve been a little lax on my end lately. I need to pick up my end after this.

Definitely worth that +1.

I will miss Raef LaFrentz and (insert name[s] here).

Ha!

I just flagged you because I’m dumb! What do you think about that?

I like whatever metric makes a Blazer look better.

I think that sadder things have happened to sadder sacks in this world,

but if it must be….let it be me…..let it be me….

some think that life can’t kick down to the dumb and full of too much rum……

but if it must be ….let it be me…..let it be me…

…k that’s my poetic kick for the day….and it sucks….

so… I think that your flag may have been appropriate.

Actually I didn't flag you

I didn’t want to waste D&B’s time with my immaturity. But I thought about it.

I always seem to find myself adding a rec at the end of your work, good sir Bayno.

So... what I think you're saying....

is that, deep down, we all just wanna be loved. Is that it?
