baseball makes up my life
BY: Lathen Secord
Fastball by Dwayne Brenna
sniper fire
from the UN-grassy knoll
cocaine high
you see in living color after that
pure white smoke
and bee bee at the knees
arrives like a punch in the face
or a pail of cold water
and hops and sometimes drops
and sometimes disappears
(ask any ump)
and thwack goes the mitt
a Foley artist couldn't make that sound
statement of unbending bluntness
black and white
and no détente
you on that side
me on this
and hit it if you can
