Memorabilia

Dan collected face masks of dead goalies
and was known to steal some sneaks occasionally.
People had many fetishes in Beaverton.
His pal Andy had a vial of Blazer sweat
and a headband he claimed was Bill Walton’s.
A gang of the guys got together some nights
and traded wristbands, balls and batting gloves.
Someone would claim it was Tiger’s broken tee
or Kip Keino’s tossed cup in their hand,
but they had soiled the DNA. It was just a fantasy.
They were all disturbed by so-called Sosa pellets.
But the worst were plastic bags of spit-out chaw.
And someone said their dad had Mordecai Brown’s finger.
