Upon the Death of Ollie Matson
The heroes
of my boyhood
are dying
one-by-one.
Each day
seems to bring
a new obit
in the NY Times —
some sports star
of my youth
passed on.
Players are young
when they play –
that’s the nature
of the Game.
So I can estimate
my remaining days
by the average
player’s age
