Measuring Time with your Eyes Shut
Takes you back into memories
Who you knew and why you knew them
Important people
Real Events
When you felt connected to something beautiful and harsh
The baseball diamond in the late summer afternoon
batting practice
with the big man
Coach Alf
Pitching
with laughter
How does a man do that?
Be the center of the universe
for a group of boys
who will never forget
what he said
“You win when you have fun!”
unforgotten words
repeated
time and again
And destined to be said
when his boys became
men.
