bask in opening day salutes
high fives, back slaps
slather sun screen on winterized skin
knobby knees freed in shorts
toes wiggle in sandals
adjust the ball cap, settle back eager
cheer first pitch
wince at wild
woe as World Series chances dim
(it’s only opening day, fickle fan)
Groan at a walk
Groan at a walk
Groan at a walk
Grooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnn
