Poem 311: Fifty Two
Scientific Research Fellow in University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee
Fifty Two
art in right arm
leg break to take wicket
opponent never hurt but imprisoned
a man of magic
life is a game
hit sixes
take wickets
a great wicket taker
six hitters back to pavilion
success flowing like sparkling white wine
filling stomach
wetting hair
bathing body
separation from wife
three children
dope test
a question of career
women after women
charity work with open heart
paying tribute to fellow worker
sudden attack
end of art
end of game
beer cigarette meat at funeral
heterochromia
green for youthfulness
blue for aristocracy
