Those who flew the ghost ships

It begins like gossip.
Before you realize it
it's all you hear.

There's a piece of the sky
I can't fly through.
I can see the clouds
but I can't get there.

Stagehand fog

The Best Poem Of Kent Werges
Big Thom
In 1913, he was offered a chance
to play for the Cleveland Indians.
His wife said no -
he kept on driving truck.
He decided to raise his family
in the country and he bought
a farm. Soon a fire said "no "
and he went back to the truck.
Another farm came available
and he thought he'd try it
one more time. Another fire
said "no." Hello, truck.
A third farm with chickens
and gardens and his wife
took ill and died. This time he took a job
at the paper mill.
He lived alone and worked
alone and found
comfort in boilermakers-
a beer and a shot became his friends.
A life of losing seasons,
age, and alcohol.
The ninth inning ended
with a strike out.
