Dash-Bard

 
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 3^rd 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.
