WATCHING
GIRLS SOFTBALL
It's
clear that
the reason
girls couldn't
throw
all
those years
was
that they didn't
get to throw.
She
goes to her
left
and
scoops a grounder
and
throws sharply
to first.
The
pitcher flings
hard underhand
fastballs.
The
catcher, decked
out in her
armour,
squats
in the dust,
catches them,
flings them
back.
It's
beautiful to
see my beautiful
daughter
stand
at a plate
and
cock the bat
as the pitcher
gets ready
to throw.
