Through many years, I've been focusing on the pitch and the outcome of whether or not I actually hit the ball to make it on base. I've realized that it's more about watching the movements the pitcher makes to throw each particular pitch. Will she curve her wrist, smack her glove to scare me, or throw a ball? If I can see what she does as she throws each pitch, I can be better be prepared for that brief moment when the ball reaches the batter's box. The outcome is now the result of my observances and my reaction to each of the pitcher's movement. I'm in control and I choose how I want the game to end.

J.C.


Embarrassed to talk to my parents about, I told you.
Train rides to New York and a trip abroad to Italy every day after school.
Close my eyes and cut the mushrooms and don’t forget a smashed finger too.
Fatty and Chiquita, great friends forever.
Remember the Sprinker? “Iiii neeeedddd a runnnnnneerrrrrrr!”
or how about crooked lip stripper? Haha, this poem is so informal.
 My buddy, I miss you.
I remember going on the cooks’ line when you weren’t looking and surprising you with this guy.
It was simple, but hilarious to us.
For me at work, you were such a plus.
Although, I only picture you through a letter now,
You’re the friend that’s better than ever.
