Angelo! Hey Angelo! Listen.
An old goalie is a lot like an old quarterback.
The over forty kind.
Give him a cigar and a copy of the Financial Post
... both are happy.
the coaches lined them up. a police lineup of goalies.
jostling, joshing
i never really liked pucks
i never really liked shooters
line em up line em up
shuffle
board chalk
signs
a nervous camera
and eight profiles
dat one (#5)
e's a keeper
a ha ha ha - clink - ٭
the stool cranks, bends
Leo. it's Leo.
stud Leo
short for ...
quoi? Leonid
Leonides
Leonard?
Leroy
Le quoi?
never mind
Leo in the dark
light cast
a shadow lamp
thinly tolerable unshaved suit
bowling alley gold or thatch brown
thinner than a mopstick villain
vaseline and old spice
he talks rood brass
the oooo sound water makes
penelope olive oyl eyes
angles? none
spotlight ... one
the "d" is silent
he's a cartoon cocoon
nerves a bundle of tapeworms
stomach seize glove
and fevered in his damp
equipment
