What is this?

it hits me.
like a ton of bricks,
but without the bricks.
had there been bricks
i’d have surely be killed.
confusion seizes everything,
what is this?

Baseball speaks life

strike a match,
strike a pose,
strike three,
your out.
of what?
where to?
how come,
and why?
blind faith
cannot win bases.
swinging at chances
create opportunities
of scoring.
to late now
for a bunt.
