home run

driving west on dodge, listening

to the royals and the indians on the radio

the commentary was  grey and foggy

like the missouri river in november

as we got to 72^nd street

george brett hit one out of the park

that’s twelve and counting so far this season

looking thru the windshield I could see

the moon was punching a hole in the night sky

right then she told me she was leaving

all she ever did to me was walk away

anyhow the royals won the game

in the eleventh inning

it was a double header
