DELIVERY BOY

When I see an adult man 
driving an old beater, 
delivering papers by 
tossing them out the 
driver’s side window, 
throwing every other one
over the top of his car,
(all of which looks hard to me),
I imagine shattered dreams
of pitching in the big leagues.
One of those guys who gets
a one-year, modest contract
and then gets beaned
by a sizzling line drive,
a career-ending injury
on his first big league pitch..
