and I will tell you
I’ve dallied the week long
with Death
–not over my left, but
front row, center
daily–
and while I’d flirted with Him before
–found Him repellent this 3rd time out
His habit of face-breathing
–soul sucking
like the vacuum He leaves running
–though not a clean freak, by any means–
His refusal to leave even when asked politely,
off-putting
–to which He’s quick to
complain He’s often
put off
Himself
–til the last minute, generally still
I didn’t believe Him for a
2nd
–but probably must
when I see Him Home
–that 4th base time
an inevitable
RBI.
