 Contemporary poetry by Dan Donlan




Continuation Three:

THREE AMIGOS BECOME TWO

You see if not
I'd be playing baseball
That was my plan for me
Not watching a friend on TV
Ron Santo Hall of Fame
I graduated needed a job
For a short time it was Boeing
But serving my country beaconed me
My Father a draft dodger shouldn't be
My Stepdad set me free
They made a medic out of me
My friend Larry a year younger
Boeing and then the Army
Who would have thought college?
But then I was six foot three
Instead of baseball basketball for me
And I was coveted recruit number three
Then blew out my knee met my wife you see
My life never thought of poetry

To be continued: This is about my friend Larry you see
