T-ball

a loud swing 
drop bat and 
pump legs to first base and 
then second

blond curls sticking out under blue cap 
bouncing in wind 
big smile 

one foot on base 
sizing up the game so far

cuz 

this is serious stuff for a six year old 
on the verge of coming home on the next hit 
probably passing the base-runner ahead of him 

jump on home plate with both feet
