baseball and life
around 18-21, we're supposed to be adults,
but there is no magic in the transformation,
as if, all of a sudden, we "get it":
how to vote, how, or not, to drink,
how to commit to relationship
and maybe to serve partner and children with our choices,
but we are batters, life is like a pitcher,
and we have to deal with curve balls,
if we're lucky, we get a hit 30% of the time,
despite our best efforts, we often strike out,
our challenge is to still come to the plate
and do our best even with the odds against us.
