A Poem for Mark Prior
Mark again,
a rising and daring,
a burning without exhaustion,
a heat with dangerous form,
not like the fire without an end,
but the coals, under the ashes and warm.
A mark from before,
a promise unkept,
a hero unkempt.
A man seen only in white and red and blue –
the same still, but now in red and blue and white,
all shades different, but not askew.
Our prior notation,
a classic tale,
a useful trope.
Kerry Wood ended with a K.
Bartolo Colon just kept going.
And now what will remain?

…another Red Sox retread… like Smoltz? like Colon? like Gangne? or like Penny?
