It’s springtime
and there is the sound
of a ballgame being called
on my front porch.
Cat on my lap. “Stee-rike!”
Dog at my feet. “Pop!”
“…that’s a single to right…”
“…the winning run is on base…”
“Crack!!”
“Five to Six to Three!”
“Doub-ble-play!”
“Raise The Jolly Roger!”
At the end of the day
all is right with my world.
