Journeys

  A baseball glove lies on its back
  in a trunk of items
  once fresh and youthful
  now discarded for
  love and marriage
  perhaps a stroller
  whose blue-eyed
  blue-bootied
  occupant will
  himself!
  soon be
  the proud owner
  of his first glove

Heh-heh. Love the wit in your comment. Maybe you can go by the alias, 'Walt Witman!'
