Sports

Thrill me,

The energy that runs

Through my body doesn’t

Rankle me at all, it gives me

Serenity, time to think,

To be audacious every

Time I see a ball or bat.

But when I play, I need to

Be conscientious, watching

Every step I make, every ball I hit,

I must be prudent.

The action of the sports,

The movement, the speedy sounds

That fall into my ears, like a basketball

Going into a net excite me.

Even when I’m not around them,

The sounds I’ve heard depict the sport

Right into my mind.

Sports thrill me, but some people are quite

Lackadaisical, not caring, not wanting to run around,

But to shop all day.

I understand everyone is different,

So I’m not going to rebuke anyone to do something

They don’t want to do

Because that’s not what I do.
