I left it
on when I
left the house
for the pleasure
of coming back
ten hours later
to the greatness
of Teddy Wilson
"After You've Gone"
on the piano
in the corner
of the bedroom
as I enter
in the dark
from New and Selected Poems by David Lehman

Let us take a moment to remember Ingemar Johansson---whose right was dubbed "the Hammer of Thor," after the Norse god of thunder. His 3rd knockout of Floyd Patterson in June of '59 was an earth-shaking event.

still think sadie's (joan crawford) stunning knockout of missionary davidson (huston) in 1932 was more memorable...and it was in the rain too...a lot of rain...

whenever it rains like this, my wife and I remember (and recite) a poem by a fellow student back in undergrad days. his name was don zink.
ALL DAY RAIN
Like when
it rains,
you know,
all day.
This little film I love; it's like a small poem on the rain. (I would point out,
though, that Jersey Joe Walcott was, I believe, something like 78 when Rocky
Marciano's fist connected to his jaw.)

"And who art thou? said I to the soft-falling shower,
Which, strange to tell, gave me an answer, as here translated:
I am the Poem of Earth, said the voice of the rain..."

Can I come sit on your porch and have some ice tea?
