Soft ground ball–
patches of bent grass
straightening.
Bikini-clad blonde
dumps over a half-warm beer–
knuckleball dances.

A Baseball Poem

A foul off the bat
is simply that recovered
then
handed off to younger hands
an exchange a part of history

On a Possible Rockies-Cardinals Playoff
By Stuart Shea
Rocks usually roll downhill.
These Rockies aren’t just landfill.
Left for dead in early May,
They’re in the playoff hunt today.
Playing halfway up the sky,
The Rockies feel a mile high.
The Cards may be their October foe,
Which ought to make a lovely show.
They’ll face a guy they used to pay–
That hitting star, Matt Holliday.
With Denver smog vs. St. Louis heat,
The Coors and Bud should flow quite sweet.
