and i realized that
- i like people who believe stillness has soul
shaped by hand,
even mechanized-->the machine immortal too
in its mortal creation
This picther, he talked to the baseball
cushioned it with recognition, words, love
in a soft leather glove
And while my glass of wine
has no place on the stitched lips of a baseball
(or sad smile of a child's well-worn-soft-cuddle bear)
I know that somehow,
these "its"
they know as well as we
to mourn mortality
