Willie Mays
once an all-time great
lost trying to play
in the outfield at Shea
because he didn’t know
two years ago
was the time to go
retire away
it happened before
I was even born
but the image is burnt
behind my eyes and
I don’t know why
or am I just projecting
giving myself safe excuses
to not even try?
