" Told "...

" Told "

Told not to worry
upon pondering titles
well within reach

like lots
of little things
gone missing
from history

being listed in
"The Science
of Hitting"
laid out reliably
year after year

geometry
trigonometry
repeatedly
coming up
against the pitch--
"It's outta heeere!!!"

while jubilantly
rounding the bases
arms raised
crossing the plate...
