I leave for NYC and points beyond tomorrow, and in the meantime, I'm trying to write a poem about John Olerud for Boog City, despite my knowing nothing about baseball, and despite my natural impulse to make fun of the kid wearing the hard-hat on the field. This is a bad and stupid impulse, so I have been doing John Olerud research and in the process trying to write something that isn't just a cheap laugh but contains some kind of Olerudian wisdom or epiphany or nugget of wholesome wonder.

In other words, I am writing only "mainstream" poetry from now on. And all my poems will have Jesus in them. All. The. Time.
