by Paul Kocak
A surge, a run
The win streak so coveted
A postseason bauble dangled
To legions of fans
From McCovey Cove
To Glen Cove
With Mays-drenched survivors
Clad in orange and black
From Coogan’s Bluff
To Tipperary Hill
A dollop of hope
For Bochy’s long goodbye
A summery tease
Like Sue Lyon by the pool
With heart-shaped shades
Hiding dreams of one more parade
Down confetti-strewn Market Street
Paul Kocak is the author of Chasing Willie Mays and a dozen other books available at Amazon — some on baseball, some not.
