1.
life is good (I think?) -
I’m able to move one bite
from home plate to mouth
2.
“first base’s” great goal
but “second,” “third,” feels better –
a “home run’s” too quick
3.
a “base hit’s” the best
“home runs” raise expectations -
who needs the pressure?
4.
pitcher’s arm’s fragile,
the worst batters get lucky –
a perfect game? fluke!
5.
balls juggled in air
each day fewer in number -
hits are what matters
6.
all bases loaded,
one more run in means you win -
hit still what matters
7.
game’s umpires all suck,
most truth, it seems, disputed -
just gravity wins
