The phlegmy migration of smoke-addicted geese

The clogged, cough-inducing chimneys

Whose release stopped the migrating geese

From going East

Flock last seen in a backfield

Smoking Bensons and necking Es

On the block forcing locks

Enforcement with dogs

Hand signals, learned them at the lodge

Learning hitting’s less important than learning to dodge

Being dogged, survived being rocked

Coming back without letting lost rounds haunt you

Don’t get tired, make you name vaunted.
