missed the swing

sitting back again
in the same coffee shop
where am i?
who are you?
what arrrre you doing reading this?

tell me why, you must,
you have to
think about it
think clearly and figure it out
it may cloud your mind through perception
could even be visually seen?

did you read the book?
can't you believe?
I speak when we dance
I twirl when we compete

I get sick when I twirl
you laugh in my face
can you dig it child
it happens every time you say grace

next to bat is a man named Joe
he practices yoga
a man stretching at night
people watch and take pictures
of a similar fight

Joe missed the swing
he was so much better before
what had changed?
what hath Joe done?

he clogged his arteries with greasy food
they made him eat bread
and cake and pie too
he wasn't Joe anymore
just a simple wangadoo

a simple sauna, a couple of runs
Joe couldn't pass 1st base
so what did they do with Joe
the big swinger bat
they left him to the Orioles
paying the Blue Jays back
