why there is poetry in baseball and no mercy in either

watched a college kid pitch
one perfect inning in a snow squall

Leaving Goattown

the bus station is more of a ghost town
than it used to be early maybe but
it always comes to mind, that time

once in Amarillo saw a man gunned down
wrong place wrong time in the wild wild west
Well Sheriff I reckon that boy had it comin’

and here in Cincinnati, I listen to footsteps long
bereft of feet still waiting for a bus lost in Virginia

thumping beat recalls body memory
swimming amongst past gen lotus eaters
chasing tracers
