Seattle Mariners take notice
the Seahawks took flight bringing
a Superbowl championship
for a Puget Sound center of athletic
proficiency and prowess close on
promise yet short on hosting trophies
for over a decade; Mariner Moose
now enters center stage, advocates a
Northwest passage for America’s Pastime—
a World Series in 2026—insisting
change’s afoot and T-Mobile Park’s
a shaken…its retractable roof
as oiled and fly as the batting cage
below where players talk smack,
fans pledge their allegiance to faith
and possibilities waiting for spring training
to grease wheels for its first pennant win.
THE POETRY OF THE GAME
