VICAR


For instance
....................Bernie Geoffrion
..................................................banging the puck past a
..................................................pitiful goalie
a gesture
...............made for photographs
...............& all the hollering you ever want to do

is real as you can get
...............in 1/10 of a second
..........................................................even if you cant
..........................................................imagine the blue line
..........................................................up close under
..........................................................your toes

I mean you arent ever the goalie
...............if you can feel the light of the flash-
bulbs
.........when you poke your hockeystick
.................................up in the air

you can make that
.................................photograph gesture all night
