Dangerous

By Stuart Shea

A sphere spins towards the head.
A comebacker cracks a pitcher’s skull.
The outfield wall claims another body.
A collision takes out two.
A knee snaps.
A labrum tears.
A dream dies.
It’s a violent game.
Sometimes, it’s a shame.

    Sometimes, it’s a shame indeed. Nice one Stu.
