"A Baseball Game" Part 7
Baudelaire went
to a baseball game
and bought a hot dog
and lit up a pipe
of opium.
The New York Yankees
were playing
the Detroit Tigers.
In the fourth inning
and angel committed
suicide by jumping
off a low cloud.
The angel landed
on second base,
causing the whole infield
to crack like
a huge mirror.
The game was
called on
account of
fear.
- Richard Brautigan

Gotta love Brautigan-- and Issa!
Yes, in this very odd post season (let's think of that in haiku terms, or simple in terms of nature, eh), Brautigan seems a perfect match. Cheers, Greg.
Man this made me smile! I think this Brautigan poem is from The Galilee Hitchhiker.
Bart:
There you go ... glad you liked. And it is from Galilee Hitch-Hiker.
Saw Ron up in Erie when I did a reading in Sept. And you've got a poem coming out in one of the three new issues ... Don
