in bits and pieces...
i remember grabbing the paper out of the machine...
and running for the trolley.
beechview, pa.
Holding a pole as it creaked,rattled and rolled...
i looked at the top half of a folded front page.
Dead center a picture of a crashed cessna
(copy lies below the fold)
i turned the post-gazette over
not
that thinking much...
caption
thurman munson's plane crashed
and the yankee captain is dead.
Later-i picked up a copy of the daily news
sports etching
a pencil drawing of thurman's face among the clouds...
2 young boys walking below...
uniforms on
bat resting on shoulder
with glove hanging from the end.
1 kid sez to the other
"i don't feel much like playing today"
