(1965)

i skated on my ankles
fell with flailing grace
demoted thence to goalie
and the derision
of teammates

later, mom, i need a...
hockey... cup

went about her work
came back amused
why don't you borrow
my thimble and a band-aid

before and
after that
most every shot
a stick save or
groin poor groin
fall and cover
flail and grovel
the puck stayed out
quite accidentally

we hardly ever
lost a game

A smile on my face early this morning is a good feeling. Thank you for starting my day off right.
