SAM's Panegyric,
to that, Mr. Robinson,
who placates servants;
"A life is not important
except impact" lights
the court-martialed torch;
carries it past first,
that blurs democracy's Cant;
stokes implications,
From the fair forehead
of the second baseman's block;
yet turns other cheek,
past neutral shortstop,
who abominates all vows
as false, dicers' oaths;
Jackie rounds third base
past Frank, the black coach, missing;
past third base elbows;
heading through catchers'
head butt; as infield throws miss,
Jackie touched Home Plate
After lettering
four sports; now four bases;
an infield home run,
Heaven's face doth glow,
avarice, Chock Full o' Nuts
till New York Giants,
die from pulchritude;
as Queen Gertrude concluded,
heart disease weakened
Jackie, as blind eyes
could not diverge the candid
truth: Racism lives.
