Notes About The Poem

written about a year ago

Baseball

the battle of the bats never to be won or lost
a game of baseball playing over time
the field flooded with lights to win the night
a colony of bats hanging from trees near by
comes to visit and scare the hell out of the batters
running for home base

I know they have rader that is why I said the swoop over you, I just didn't finish my sentence. I lived in Oregon for years where they are always flying around and they come pretty close
