PLAYING BALL

I reached in to pull out my all playing ball …
without alcohol

Head up, I breathed brave and stepped up to the plate …
felt like dodge ball bait

Sunshiny bases enticed my run-gained mount …
on feared three-two count

Bat smacked contact so I ran like a wildcat …
clawed first base splayed flat

I reached in to pull out my all playing ball …
fun enriched windfall -
worth future recall
