JEROME HERMAN’S HIGHER EDUCATION

In the 1937 All-Star Game

Earl Averill bounced a

Snake blown drive off Dizzy Dean’s toe.

Ol’ Diz was never the same, and

This is why:

He already knew that

The Toe bone is connected to the head bone.

What he was still too dumb to know is:

The sky has a limit.

After this discovery, it was all down hill.

He was a plowhorse gone to seed,

A crackerjack joke in a warm museum.

Soon he learned that you could occupy

Two spaces

At the same time:

Your feet could be summering back in Texas

Flapping like two jackrabbit ears,

While your right arm hung over an enormous butte

On Chicago’s North Side,

And your fingers trembled in the cold wind.

He went on though, a true fisherman, hugging

The shore of Lake Michigan, casting for catfish

In the Texarkana.
