Homerun

When I hear a the crack of the bat,

It’s 3 years ago,

crack, the ball is hit,

it goes toward third,

it hits a runner,

The runner is not called out,

the runner scores the winning run,

we lose our first game of the season,

but that is not my story,

my story is,

it’s a 2-2 pitch,

the ball comes streaking toward the plate,

I swing,

crack, the ball goes flying

through the cloudy sky,

it lands deep in the green grass outfield

as I sprint around the bases,

I reach home base

long before the ball does,

it’s my

first

homerun

of the

season
