Ball and Bible
Ball and bible
Jesus in your pocket
Before the next game
Says a prayer
Fingertips on pages of God
Stroking leather through cotton
Looks to the sky and pounds his heart
Didn’t know Jesus wore sneakers
Preached from the bleachers
Saving lost teams
Flip through the scriptures
Try to find some truth
Found out Jesus was a Sixer
Spirit of 1776
Eating popcorn in the seats
Ball and a Bible
So prophetic
Make this shot sit with the angels
Through the pages of time

Tear in Heaven
Something about dropping a tear into heaven
Galaxy away see a small hole
Floating and spinning
On the horizon
Stand like skywalker
Smaller than a pebble
Drops down from above
Must be from heaven
Set my eye see a smile in the crowd
Feet set in position
Fight through the starts
Know destiny in you
Drops of heaven drizzling on me
Shots of infamy or destiny
Who decides is me and my god
Not a case of doing right by Cure
Hypnotized by baptism
Of false satans and gods ...
Galaxy away see a small hole

Smaller than a pebble

Know destiny in you

What One Might Say Happens To Be The Real Low Blow
She got into the ring.
Someone accused her of humping her partners.
She stood there totally shocked.

It was great
How was practice?”
Oh I don’t mean to brag,
But I was the human punching bag
My lip was grazed
My ribs, I’m shocked
They still make a cage
“It was great”
I should’ve ate before,
Maybe I would’ve done better then
I suppose I’ll forgive myself today for the ache
Until the pain goes away
Another practice begins, next time I’ll win
Oh I don’t mean to brag,
But I was the human punching bag
My lip was grazed
My ribs, I’m shocked
They still make a cage

I suppose I’ll forgive myself today for the ache
Until the pain goes away
Another practice begins, next time I’ll win

After He Stepped Out Of The Cabin
Rick stepped outside and
glanced at the sunset before
he suddenly heard a splash.
Then, he saw Maggie
taking a swim before she
dried off and went back inside.

Defeated
What have I seen?
not actually sure
a losing team
is there a cure?
Batters could not hit
pitcher let up many runs
balls popping out of mitts
fans annoyed; this was no fun
No hope for them
fans have gone away
behind by 10
maybe some other day
Fans today were shedding tears
future days may bring applause & cheers

Legs
Whistle screams to sound the beginning
of these legs around this roaring place.
Dirt will fly, up to the sky while
the horses shout peeling about.
Dragging the curves from end to end
exhaling dark elements from tail pipes end.
Smacking pavement, clashing metal,
rolling all over this circular shelter.
Winds blow by, swirling between sprinters
shining light under this darkened drive.
Nearing the closing colorful papers wave
the striders past the line of eyes posing.
Screeching halt, legs are doll, ...
of these legs around this roaring place.
Dirt will fly, up to the sky while

Smacking pavement, clashing metal,

shining light under this darkened drive.

Sweatband
Cheese popcorn
Diet Coke

No housework done
820 steps
11:00 AM
Wasted morning (except for reading Sedaris)
Up since 4:30 AM
Throat brutally sore
Really needed sleep
Horrible dream: my 89-year-old mom standing alone with a suitcase
forlornly asking
"Where am I going?"
106 degrees
Not even noon
Air quality alert
Just like every day this summer
Crying off and on
Mostly on
Have to do something
Excuses to not go to the basketball court: ...

Reset
My heart is racing
My body is aching
One punch
Kick
Block
My sweat pours down my face
I’m still aching
The mentality of a warrior
Runs through my veins
I have the reins
Fighting has been my way of coping
I feel more in control
When I am sore
I fight harder
Another four punch combo
Ending with a KO
When life gets me down
I tend to frown thinking of the past
But I can’t do that
I have to look past what’s been done
And know that I can move on
So one punch
Two punch
Block ...

Banging on the tracks - Motors Roar
Hear the beats - Door to Door
Fenders blend - Personalities bend
Music in the stands
Music on the tracks
Hear the Roar
Hear the crash
Crumpled hoods - Parts fly
Hear the cries
Hear the sighs
Are they O.K. ?
While others try to win
Others look the other way

To Be Humble
Humble is the word, it paves the way.
Humble every time, that I look at this race.
I’ver never been so proud and yet so ashamed.
Humble: the price that I pay, every day.
I wanna be God, since I deserve it.
Good at everything, since I’m worth it.
A record made? I may disturb it.
I should be first, or else I’m worthless.
It’s hard to walk this rocky road.
I pay in sweat and tears and hope.
„I shall be better”, is what I told.
I won’t accept, that I’m no gold.
Since middle class is not my standard.
Since I’m the...

Body
Every so often I’m reminded
of the fact that I have a body.
Today, it hurts.
It’s my own damn fault –
dashing through forest
up and down hills
over roots and mud
for over two hours
will do that to a body.
And I relish the feeling.
Not because I enjoy pain,
but because it means I’m still here
and I get to inhabit this miraculous form
that can smell peace in the spruce trees
see joy in ripples on the streams
and I get to test
what else it can achieve and endure.
Last fall, I ran...
of the fact that I have a body.
Today, it hurts.
It’s my own damn fault –
dashing through forest
up and down hills
over roots and mud
for over two hours
will do that to a body.
And I relish the feeling.
Not because I enjoy pain,
but because it means I’m still here
and I get to inhabit this miraculous form
that can smell peace in the spruce trees
see joy in ripples on the streams
and I get to test
what else it can achieve and endure.
Last fall, I ran...
