OTI:one poem, notes:7/21/19

Open To Interpretation

Container Cargo Ship

Like delivering the mail in a far flung sea country side
The horizon with the sun
The horizon with the moon
The horizon with the milky way rising
Beyond transparent clouds
From here to there and there and there
Singapore, Hong Kong, Sri  Lanka
Hither and yon over the wide wide ocean.

Notes:  Game on...on the radio...Angels and Mariners...top of sixth...Angels 7-0...Guerno up... Angels made out...and, Mariners made out...top of seventh, Trout up...crowd just had time for an 'ohh!'...and ball got outahere...home run...Angels 8-0...Ohtani with base hit...and then out at second on Upton's grounder FC...Simmons up...fly out...and Upton thought there were two out...went all the way to second...DP...to bottom of seventh...I've become a day sleeper...too hot to stir...so, on the tablet in my bunk...just woke up...I'm constantly on the tablet reading, noting, composing...it's like being in school, but I dont have a curiculum,  just sort of kibitz classroom lectures, or some such...odd time, like we've all become engaged in 'brick' making, figuritively speaking...we find some thoughts of great import, compose them into a social media post, and add another brick/book/post to our media 'wall'...yes...'just another brick in the wall'...such are fish in a school!...anyway, Mariners score a run...Angels 8-1...'savages in the box' a new meme making the school of baseball shimmer/ripple...'box' refers to the white chalk rectangle on the ground aside home plate batters stand in....'savages' a coined term by the Yankee manager alluding to the intelligence of his batters to distinguish pitches from balls and strikes, off or over the plate...manager went off on the umpire...whole dust up, in a fashion, was about another 'box', the rectangular strike zone...now, the computers actually generate this box, outlined, on the tv screen, and indicate if the pitched ball went through, or around it...umpires have become superfulous and could be replaced for calling balls and strikes...such the march of progress to standardize boxes!...Mariners made out...to top of eigth...oh, I've forgotten the spelling for eigth...8th....each word a spelling box...Guerno waps one out of the box, home run...Angels 9-1...Angels make out...to bottom of eigthth...eighth...88 degrees in Seattle...can't, maybe can but don't know how to box, copy paste, from web to tablet...so post all text....lead off hit...K...base hit...two are down...I've taken to writing poems about the youtube clips I watch...some of them are poetic and lend thenselves to such...this came about from joining in in the comments...writing a comment I sometimes turn a phrase, and hear the beginning of poem...I haven't gotten so bold, or goofy, as to go back to a comment thread and post a poem...maybe someday clips with comments will evolve to that...now there seems to be a kind of commercial decorum to everything on the web...like its a big grocery store, everyone intent on shopping...both 'shopping' selling, and shopping buying...Fletcher made out...Trout up...K...Ohatani up...forgetting how many out is 'out of the box'...such announcing a poem in walmart or tarjae...Ohatini made out...to bottom of ninth...anyway, I happened, well, google algo lured, on/to a time lapse clip of a container ship--the deck covered with boxes...cool clip, schooling millions...

...tommorrowmorrow the Indus Valley Culture bricks...Mariners load the bases...and have scored...wp...Angels 9-3...that link wont highlight from the tablet memo to google blog edit...K, two down...needs to be C/P...liner, pops out of Fletcher's glove, sorta, tossed to base for final out...put a halo over this one!
