"let's call this"
for jayne cortez
baseball, poetry, &
rhythm & blues
& all three
in one most
glorious day,
april 15, 1982
let's call this
opening day,
like the sky
opened up & grinned
all over detroit
& at the shrine
of truth & beauty
at michigan & trumbull
even the tigers came thru
4 to 2
over toronto
& at the detroit
institute of arts
jayne cortez
made the scene
with her crazy
poetry-
making machine
& to top it off,
making his first
detroit appearance
in recorded memory,
the pride
of orange, texas,
ladies &
gentlemen, that mighty
man of music, mister
clarence
"gatemouth"
brown!
so let's call this a
perfect
day then, & please
please, please,
i'm down on my knees
begging for more
80 more
home games to go, &
let the hits just
keep on coming
day after day
for the rest of the year!
detroit
april 17, 1982
