A POEM edited

ORIGINAL VERSION

Wake up each day without your love to look forward to,
Picturing your bright smile as I sit here in solitude,
Looking back to a time where I made you whole,
Our hearts fit perfectly as one keeping our lives in control,
We have grown up since then so it will be not be the same,
Realizing our freedom has vanished which is such a shame,
Remembering days of endless time we spent together,

Sparky



I may be the least qualified to eulogize George "Sparky" Anderson. I was at odds with him from 1979, when he replaced Les Moss, a team stalwart who earned the chance to manage. His "My way or the highway" hubris did not click with my long haired ideas.

Relinquishing Steve Kemp for Chet Lemon is still a trade I wouldn't make; the Schatzeder for LeFlore trade was the result of a hissie fit. 


His Cincinnati credentials were marred by not winning more with the bulk of talent he supervised.


Sparky was a manager who made personalities too big of a deal.






What did I know? I played the game daily in the blissful absence of X-Box, My fourth grade class watched the World Series cinched by Mickey Lolich, Jim Northrup and Willie Horton. No studies for those few heady days, the 3-1 deficit brushed aside by 3 Tiger wins. Jose' Feliciano and the Star Spangled Banner. Brock declining to slide as football big Bill Freehan stood him up and tagged out the 'speed merchant'.


When Sparky was summoned north on I-75 I was yet stewing over Ralph Houk wrecking the "Bird" Fydrich's arm. The giveaways of Kemp, LeFlore and Jason Thompson were clearly at his behest.


I was an angry fan.


Working downtown at Nemos in the Ren Cen, we could walk in free after the 7th, and that meant something, the police were cool, inside Tiger Stadium, the world was polite, cheerful and benevolent. Sparky was a Red, he didn't know what the Tigs meant to us who grew up with them, the 100 loss seasons of the '70's didn't quench our love, and the memory of 1968 remained fresh, it had one hell of a shelf life..










In short order the man proved he had a method to his madness.

The 1984 season erupted, Morris' no-hitter, then 35-5; how do you argue with results.

He inaugurated CATCH, a singularly  on the level charity for sick kids.

He started to remind me of my hard working Dad, then he had me, no one else could be manager.









I wish they would have kept Tiger Stadium; I have yet to see a game at CoPa. Detroit needs a great deal more than a luxury box for its redemption. Tiger Stadium was egalitarian, and it's demolition still gets me fighting mad.

Sparky grew on you, he was a real one in the truest sense. Bless his memory, and bless his family in this difficult hour.

THE TRUTH CAME HOME

THE TRUTH CAME HOME

When I sAW bILL CLINTON ON TV TAKLKING  ABOUT HIS WIFE WHO HE HAS NOT PUBLICLY APOLOGIZED TOO,  i KNOW WHAT DOOMED hILLARY FOR PREZ; THE DREARY IDEA bILL WOULD RETURN AS A CELEB, WHICH HJE ABVIOUSLY WANTS. wHAT HE DID AS PRESIDENT WILL REMAIN AMONG THE LIVING AS A LOW POINT IN HUMAN RELATIONS VIS-A-VIS THE HUMAN FUCKING RACE.

Hillary was disliked by self for a preachy teachy condescending tona and cadence; he is ok morally.


TALK ABOUT BONDS AND INFLATION AND HOW WE'RE IN GOOD SHAPE.

Rachel Maddow TV SHOW


i know alot of girls cute as teenagers when they are 16-19, which is the plum age of every female human. It's when they get full grown and can act like this it matters

that show on Discovery-I.D., Most Evil held one intriguing fact I will display, All ages shapes and iq's of male humans were shown photos of women of various ages and dress, and 17 registered age the most attractively aged face and stuff.

my brother military, my money comes from the same place yours does; i just get less—put a rifle in my hands.

maddow dumps on the right, doesn't explain shit like i could about bonds and debt and the lies about debt.

WHY MAKE A TV SHOW OUT OF MCVEIGH I WANT TO SEE LEE HARVEY OSWALD NEXT IT'S JUST AS RELEVANT, WHOEVER did that shit knew an aftermath of unpredictable dimensions was certain, a futile, bloody, criminal act. MSNBC has sunk its news label with "The McVeigh Tapes", and in the present political discourse threw a firecracker in the room fuck them for it.

You dropped your phone service and haven't contacted us; I know you are way too smart for this to be an oversight.

I owe you an apology, I apologize, I'm sorry. Please give your old Dad another chance.


I swear I will never be vulgar, needy or paranoid in front of you or drunk and inappropriate.


We are so proud of you, you and Grandpa have been close; I want it to be like that again.

THAT"S THE THING THAT FUCKED SHIT UP

Back when I was in love with this for real Hollywood Movie Starlet

Running from the same stolen grub
Her getting big with Robin AND SLOW

Had to double back for you Mama

I had to believe Sheryl remembered everything and upon any accusation I worked the shit I would say the the imaginary JUDGE good practice for a natural egomaniac

Sloozie gets a good night's sleep


Just a note to be watching for messages from Anderson's direction. I haven't heard from that fucking guy in 30 years; so I sent him a message how did I know everything i say to him doesn't go into becky's ear? i believe i said "the Oglesby girls."

Last time i saw him he was putting your mom and me out of his house on Derby St. A gloomy night. Did you hear how Oakland Co. Friend of the Court sent me your SSN's and addresses? I knew I had told you about the SSN's years ago; how they had them blacked out with magic marker so i held it up to a bulb and you could read right through it.  Hi-tech, ID theft and the internet





then i made a crack about the FOC being y'alls protectors then i come home and your phone# out i think i overdid it leaks like seive








foc judges they are nice but you get one of them officeshrews on the phone and your day is shot because they piss you off so, the first time i called back in 1983; this woman got on the phone and told me i should be digging ditches to put food in your belly, and i'm like i'm all for it, that threw her, she was probably used to hang ups with that line But i didn't play into her hands, they have lied to me, stole from me, my stimulus check went to your mom, judge told me that the court paper had Prince St. in Pontiac for Mom's, they had provided a ride to Pontiac and let me walk out the front door of the courthouse, my levis collapsing without lost belt cops—plus Hendrix and Doors cds; expensive girl's bike outside Toy R Us; across the street on the lawn at night listening to my walkman and didn't see them, my reward?

"Yeah you go home thief! No jail, We take care of evidence."

whatever you hear from Aunt Becky about me rently originates with Mark Anderson who proved he is still a rat. I knew he couldn't resist the SSN angle if he gossips with Becky, when since he'd already told me about Lindsay's wedding, and meeting you there, was a helluva lot more recent; the last i seen of any of them was when I went out to Southfield 1990 and gave Tom Anderson the $20.00 I borrowed from his Dad (did the old man see it at all?) Professor of Pharmacology next to Detroit Receiving; Gordon Scott Building; I got stranded and remembered he worked there went to his lab in the 8th grade and I was ready to ask. He had model parents-Leave it to Beaver parents, they may be photogenic too! When I really have to remember a fact thinking on my feet, i surprise myself how good i remember; like this dudes got shipped off to nursing home while i was out of town and i left my bicycle at his house and have spent three days so far tracking it. if 'george' doesn't call tomorrow i'm going over there and ask him 'where it is, man?' Over and over til he answers displaying snubnose .38 Smith and Wesson revolver, The Dragnet Detective gun; keep the brass off the deck

I wanted a loyalty test

Now your phone # different so I'm letting you know-

I'm me you think I'm still out to get someone for "doublecrossing" me; no just don't lie to me me; it always cracks me up, Lisa, Tommy's babies' Mama and Sheryl wanted their address unknown to the ex without ever meeting

And I don't know what's proper etiquette—apprpriate that's so value slanted implying the existence of a superior method;
you can go buy a book on ettiquette and they'll teach you how to eat with your knife the way you do with cornbread, so as to not be embarrassed abroad; What's appropriate takes a lifetime of study

When I heard that black lady Say your mom's name,  "Sheryl!" and "Jack—Town" in the same breath, it finally registered what a typical and dangerous set-up i was in, cops would close their notebooks after a blink and nosh until quitting time.

THERE IS ALWAYS THE EASY WAY OR THE HARD WAY

DON'T BE SMART WITH ME YOUNG LADY!!

A pouting face remained unchanged. I said, "Look, if y'all will make up we'll chalk it up."

Immediately all the young faces brightened.

sloozie asked tamara what went on?

tamara: you have a nasty mind

sloozie: hell girl we lost our cherry the same night to the same no account niggers, i don't ask you your business, and if you want to stay friends: don't talk to me like that.

tamara said It was jasmine, i's worried bout her 

sloozie, what is wrong with you? always someone else needs you, is it the Lord?

tamara since i got saved i don't know if i'm comin or goin

sloozie when you try and walk with the Lord your thinkin changes without you knowin or decidin
