baseball life by Mary Frances Spencernervous at bat
fast ball
decisions
or walk
try to catch the pop fly
run fast and step on each
base
around and around
sometimes stealing
or tagged out
cycling like innings
seasons take forever
outfield often boring
but necessary
every once in awhile
the grand slam
home running
cheers from the bench
as the sunshine falls into golden evening
game almost over
memories wear dusty knees
childhood moments crack metal
soar into another afternoon
at the park
