Softly
Very far

Now

like a gem pearl...

Cold rain
&
Sad
On
The windshield
Listening
Listening
Thinking
The horn saxophone
Trumpet
Colder rain now
&
Colder sad
I wait in this parking lot again

Hunter's hero
It's a Japanese sound
Like a B-3 one note
Like a gem pearl

gone...

Gone
Porcupine islands
Gone April
Notebook & sketchbook in the car
The cold & the gray out there
Here
Through the window blossoms teapots
Orange
&
Drapes
Oceans buoys easels
But most of all
- -
April is gone

marvelous marvin hagler vignette #1...

A night in 1978, Boston Garden, November 11, middleweight Marvelous Marvin Hagler vs. Willie Warren, a journeyman pugilist out of Texas - Hagler wins easily, TKO 7.  At ringside, Peter Bonventre of Newsweek magazine turns to me, "Marvelous Marvin - he's a beautiful fighter."  Bonventre's visit to Boston resulted in a full page story on Hagler in Newsweek's first issue of 1979 - Superman Christopher Reeve on the cover.  Hagler went on to challenge Vito Antuofermo for the middleweight championship of the world November 30, 1979 - Marvelous Marvin came away with a draw!  Controversial decision!  Vito retains the title!  Wow!  Everyone grimaced!  Then Hagler challenged and won the world middleweight boxing title from Alan Minter in London, England, September 27, 1980 - TKO 3!  Wow!  Everyone joyed!  Marvelous held the undisputed world middleweight title for seven and a half years and thirteen title defenses!  Then another controversial decision!  A 12 round split-decision loss on April 6, 1987 in Las Vegas, Nevada!  Hagler and everyone I know were stunned!  Wow!  Everyone grimaced again!  Hagler retired in June 1988 never to return to the ring.  Marvelous Marvin - he was a beautiful fighter.
