I’ll conjure the perfect Easter

& we’ll plant mini spruces in the yard—

my pink gloves & your green gloves

like parrots from an opera over the earth—

We’ll chatter about our enemies’ spectacular deaths.

I’ll conjure the perfect Easter

dark pesto sauce sealed with lemon

long cords of fusilli to remind you of my hair

& my pink gloves. Your gloves are green

& transparent like the skin of Christ

when He returned, filmed over with moss roses—

I’ll conjure as perfect an Easter:

provolone cut from the whole ball

woody herbs burning our tongues—it’s a holiday

I conjure with my pink-and-green gloves

wrangling life from the dirt. It all turns out

as I’d hoped. The warlocks of winter are dead

& it’s Easter. I dig up body after body after body

with my pink gloves, my green gloves.

In the world under coronavirus there is no live sports, and no sports coverage, anywhere... 


Many of you are thirsty for sports stories.  



We will be trying to post sports stories more often, profiles of players, updates on suspended seasons, and the like.  This will be easier with your input.  

If you have any interests, or if you see any articles you find interesting, please send the links along to speedorex@yahoo.com    

This will be  lot easier for us, to rewrite articles or to present them in digested form...  and to bring them to all of our members in a timely manner.

So, don't leave us in a bit of a sticky wicket:
