The Calm
by Shane l Meadows   
Rated "G" by the Author.
     

This is a poem that I banged out, if you will, in - well as fast as I could write



Miles upon miles
Blue and green were all I knew
Oh, no- I wasn't sad
Opposite at Bat,
Ready to explode
The "Calm"
Bit back with vengeance
Grasping hold, I felt the surge of many
I let loose of all!
Decided I would start another
Although, I fail to exist and can't get back no matter How
Hit the Deuce
Crapped out, and only the Banker knows
For he grows these swindling slots
Of magnets beneath
Pit boss' above with charmed smiles of "House Again-"
Patience my friend, I'll catch you at the next
"calm"
