Some of us believe	A
We would have conceived romantic	B
Love out of our own passions	C
With no precedents	D
Without songs and poetry	E
Or have invented poetry and music	B
As a comb of cells for the honey	E

Shaped by ignorance	F
A succession of new worlds	G
Congruities improvised by	H
Immigrants or children	I
	-
I once thought most people were Italian	I
Jewish or Colored	J

Something like Ed Ford	L

After one year in the majors	P
Whitey Ford was drafted by the Army	E
To play ball in the flannels	Q
Of the Signal Corps stationed	R
In Long Branch New Jersey	E

A night game the silver potion	I
Of the lights his pink skin	S
Shining like a burn	T
	-
Never a player	U
I liked or hated a Yankee	E
A mere success	V

But white the chalked off lines	W
In the grass white and green	X
The immaculate uniform	Y
And white the unpigmented	R
Halo of his hair	Z
When he shifted his cap	A2
	-
So ordinary and distinct	R
So close up that I felt	R
As if I could have made him up	B2
Imagined him as I imagined	R

The ball a scintilla	C2
High in the black backdrop	D2
Of the sky Tight red stitches	E2
Rawlings The bleached	R
	-
Horsehide white the color	U
Of nothing Color of the past	R
And of the future of the movie screen	X
At rest and of blank paper	U
	-
I could have The mind The black	F2
Backdrop the white	R
Fly picked out by the towering	G2
Lights A few years later	U
	-
On a blanket in the grass	H2
By the same river	U
A girl and I came into	R
Being together	U
To the faint muttering	G2
Of unthinkable	I2
Troubadours and radios	J2
	-
The emerald	R
Theater the night	R
Another time	K2
I devised a left hander	U
Even more gifted	R
Than Whitey Ford A Dodger	U
People were amazed by him	L2
Once when he was young	M2
He refused to pitch on Yom Kippur	U
