Winning

I never wanted to win the contract
I never wanted the big deal
I wanted to see
I wanted to understand
I wanted to throw a baseball
And catch it

I want to throw it hard
And harder
And harder
Back and forth
Hear the leather snap?
Bam!
To the bone.

I don't like sappy country
Yodeling
Twanging on about
The good ole days

I want to rip things apart
Tear them to pieces
Shake the ground
Pound my fist
Drive eighty miles per hour
Above the speed limit

Sit in the backyard
Fix the old house
Not the antique
The crappy house
The cheezewhiz house
The wannabe Brady Bunch house

Fall calm
Alone
Sun drenched
Pure
Calm
Lines
Swinging
Swishing
Ripples

Rip it apart
Tear it
Toss it

Sing!
Scream!

I saw!
I caught it!
Struck the bone!
I understand!
I don't!
I do!

Knife in the chest
Head down
Then calm

To Dreams

I don't blog much because it is sooooo hard to continue doing what I start! Unless guilt or strong accountability is involved...

I blog because, inexplicably, I enjoy it.
