A baseball bat
and countless buckets of balls
He has been waiting for this day
forever. A chance to show what he's got
His sweat running down his face
under the high sun
as his hands, the size
of catcher's mitts
tighten their grips on the bat
He is sick of waiting,
their eyes meet one last time,
the ace pitcher,
the all-state batter.
He is ready for the pitch.
Ready to show them all.
