Three Questions

“There’s no crying in baseball”

Almost time for a new season⚾️⚾️⚾️

As America’s stock of athletic young men is depleted during World War II, a professional all-female baseball league springs up in the Midwest, funded by publicity-hungry candy maker Walter Harvey (Garry Marshall). Competitive sisters Dottie Hinson (Geena Davis) and Kit Keller (Lori Petty) spar with each other, scout Ernie Capadino (Jon Lovitz) and grumpy has-been coach Jimmy Dugan (Tom Hanks) on their way to fame. Madonna and Rosie O’Donnell co-star as two of the sisters’ teammates.

24 Seasons Syllabic Poetry Challenge, No. 19, 1/30/24, Part II: Deep Cold

Bussokuseki-style is an archaic poetic device in which lines are written in a 5-7-5-7-7-7 mora pattern.

white stark scenery

blankets of the purest snow

arctic blue hues blend

sky and land seem intertwined

untouched by creatures or man

nature finds this secret space

Twelve years ago I was on 24 hour oxygen, kidneys in bad shape and addicted to Fentanyl patches, taking Vicodin and ibuprofen along with various other medications. None of these things stopped pain and I finally got off everything and now only Tylenol if necessary. Probably I am lucky that I’m allergic to strong pain meds…

breath was sporadic

panic often reared it’s head

helpful listening

needed doctors’ care saved me

now I’m able to breathe free
