Chair Umpire - This Is My Eulogy to Luis Miguel DeSantos

Dear Uncle Mike
I wish I knew you like dad did
I wish I knew you like grandma and grandpa did when they raised you
Maybe I can get some more detail about
Family drama and how you never got part of it
But who knows cause I don't know

I spent most of my days in the backyard
Trying to light some fireworks
But we couldn't even though Gabe did
And we got in trouble but not as bad from ten years ago
I go towards the back of your house
With Jacob and Jelly watching Degrassi
Just to make fun of Drake
And then watch Scott Pilgrim save the day

I don't know where
To go if it's cold outside
I guess it's better than ninety degrees
Every single day there
I can't see the signs
That point me directions
To the west side
Or if I should just stay here

Goddammit I spilt the Dos Equis bottle again
I'm sorry I did that
I'll get you another one
And maybe one for myself
We'll throw on Star Wars
And we can watch it twenty four seven
If that's how long it'll take the Death Star
To blow up Dantooine cause holy shit it's so big

I don't know where
To go if it's cold outside
I guess it's better than ninety degrees
Every single day there
I can't see the signs
That point me directions
To the west side
Or if I should just stay here

I wish I could go back to
El Paso just for one day to
See Francis and Franco play together
Just for once and hope to see the
Places like Fort Bliss and UTEP
Just so I can feel like I'm at home

Dear Mikey
I wish I loved you like dad did
I wish I loved you like Estela and Jr. and Miriam
Just so I can try to get my head straight
And stop listening to Led Zeppelin
Just for once and I can just think

I don't know where
To go if it's cold outside
I guess it's better than ninety degrees
Every single day there
I can't see the signs
That point me directions
To the west side
Or if I should just stay here
