Here's the Larry Kearney poem, as it appears in <i>Adios Pelota</i> (remember, the poem presumably was written just after the Giants beat the Phillies to win the National League Pennant, and please note that the poem is untitled):<br /><br />Whitey Lockman's <br />still at first, the ground rolls<br />jump before sleep. White <br />Lockman looks at his webbing. Philly<br />alway sucked. Robin<br />Roberts too.

I don't get, with the little evidence you give, the image being laid out, but I'm sure all would be self-evident, if the lines were surrounded by lines before and after. thanks for this wonderful effort. <br />Michael Wolfe.MWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06064208531766134720noreply@blogger.com
