Interference

Whether in a baseball game
Or in the span of life,
Interference often causes
Agita* or strife.

Even when one’s motives
May be innocent or pure,
A casual observer
Or an ump might not be sure.

So consequences will result
When someone interferes,
And sometimes the effects may last
For months or even years.

*indigestion; aggravation

Your leitmotif is unique, simple and delicious! Coming across your poetry is true serendipity. I promise to read more and more- hope I'm not interfering(JOKE). JM
