ABOUT THE LIE OF DIVORCE
I remember when I bought Rose the blouse
V-neck... Native- American embroidery
Winter soft wool, a gift of the first
No...the second year of marriage
Oh, I loved her in it...I loved her then
I see the same blouse on a stranger
The Rose times come back and saying simply
"I'm divorced"- in the singles scene seems wrong
See I'm divorced except for this blouse
Divorced except when Sinatra sings'Time after Time'
Divorced except for the two daughters
As beautiful as she was...is
My friend says So the divorce...a mistake?
And I say No
Look, I'm on the sandlot and I chase a ball
Crash into a hedge, branches up my nose
Bloodied lips and cheeks
Funny to others and anger for me
Divorce the game...no way
Later, I'm in center field - summer breeze
Another hit...a good one...and I run hard...run sweet
And I...the ball meet and it is as Rose in that blouse
The moment...the moment...the sweet moment
