Julio Franco


.julio franco had a funky swing.
.spit seeds all the time.
.blood red eyes and speed.

.pudge was built like a brick shithouse.
.rocket arm and dark stares.
.doubles up the gap.

.juan was the best of all.
.lanky, long, and lean.
.puffed up and his joints went out.

.the pitchers always let them down.
.a parade of over the hill and green.
.mr washington talking bout fundamentals.

.ruben sierra was closest to clemente.
.got caught up in chicken fighting.
.the island life is hard core.

Thirsty Vines

  Jam samples and free beer. These Lone Star days. Long rows of thirsty vines. Inspection trip. Old structures and new ones. Oaks and pecans...
