A Dead Armed Pitcher is Not Yet a Man

    like a sick stomach
    having just reached the top
    of a rollercoaster ride that screams like a rocket 
until the bottom falls out of it and comes to the most sudden
                                                         stop

Instead of throwing the ball like any of that
I throw it right down the middle
as hard as I can
My ass is handed to me in front of an audience

I grunt when I throw because they asked me to
because if I don’t they’ll ask why I didn’t
because they thought it would add a couple miles per hour
to my cartoonishly slow and extremely hittable deliveries
The other kid grunts back as he slaps a loud smack
The crowd roars because our team is away and they are safe at home
We’re 13 years old, I sucked
I got roughed up on the usual
but our team had no reliable bullpen
so they left me in to soak up the remaining innings
until the 10-run rule arrived, the rule of mercy

x-posting here because it's for baseball nerds

and also to help explain baseball to only people in the UK
