    Nos Amours

    Notes: 1. Nos Amours (“Our Loves”) was the popular nickname for the Montreal Expos, MLB’s first franchise outside the United States, founded in 1969 and named after Expo 67, Montreal’s World’s Fair. The team relocated to Washington, D.C., after the 2004 season and became the Nationals. 2. In 1994, the Expos had the best record in baseball at 74-40 — on pace for 106 wins — when the players’ strike cancelled the remainder of the season and the World Series. Unable to absorb the financial losses, the team sold off its core players. Many fans and historians regard the strike as the beginning of the end for baseball in Montreal. When the team was honored at Olympic Stadium in 2014, a banner read On se souvient Édition 1994 — “We remember the 1994 season.” 3. In 1946, Jackie Robinson played for the Montreal Royals, the Brooklyn Dodgers’ Triple-A affiliate, the year before he broke MLB’s color barrier. Montreal embraced Robinson warmly — his teammate Jean-Pierre Roy recalled that “in Montréal, he was always respected as a baseball player.” After the Royals won the Little World Series that October, fans carried Robinson on their shoulders and then chased him joyfully through the streets. Sportswriter Sam Maltin wrote it was “probably the only day in history that a Black man ran from a white mob with love instead of lynching on its mind.” This is a public episode.

    Myself Included

    The purple martins returned To their spot on the melted river. The phenology calendar We keep by the door said they would. The redwinged blackbirds, too, Were there, and a lone cormorant. I was also there for sun And for the hope wafting in the air. A stoic seagull sailed over And circled the scene on patrol Before veering away Upstream towards the marina. Everything leaned toward spring And its offer of new beginning. Every bird and beast in that scene, Myself included (with my cares), Seemed well aware of what Opportunity lay at hand And that the seasonal gift Must be seized like the reins of a horse To be ridden out of the dawn Or lost in the heat of the sun And the difficulty Of the long summer days to come.

    Letter to Fred

    Let me tell you, dear Fred, About how fatefulness led From exhaustion to love Like a bee gliding into a glove Or a foot with ruby sock Kicking open a sugared lock. But I wonder, old pal, How it’s going, and your gal, How she’s doing as well, And how the old magic from the spell Is winding down to its end Back to where all things must descend. There’s no such thing as luck, I’ll tell you that, and some pluck Will go a long way towards Breaking through the closed windows and the boards That were nailed there out of fear And the lack of required good cheer. But I know that you know That, dear Fred, and that the show We’re all starring in is Not unlike the one about the wiz And ultimately funny Like a bee conjuring honey.
