So you
stand
near the track
and look out
rooting for that horse
“Come on baby!”
Or you stand in front
of the large window
as the plane
lands
and then
the passengers
come through the walk way
there she is!
There!
Or
you know
it’s the holidays
and
maybe a bit much
but
you long
for the season
to get the boxes
out
the tree to put
up
and all that
Well
for me
it’s silly
so
I won’t mention it
here
No
no
no!
You will just
make fun
Oh
Ok
Ok ok
ok
fine!
I look through
the hole
in the
fence
to see the
guys
taking
batting practice
Yes
baseball
Spring training (to be exact)
That’s
when they warm up
Stretch and stuff
try to get limber
take their
place
you know
show their
agility
work to
make the team
Spring training
We’ll go some time
It’s like a crackling fire
except
a lot quieter
Spring
turns into summer
right?
Spring is when
things have
thawed out
and
flowers start to
wake
and
then
you know
the
sun is high
and
the birds
sing
Yes
that’s
spring
Complete
with
baseball
That’s why I am looking through the fence
That’s what I am longing to see
