moving forward is
always the only option
else impossible
the result of the year
is probably the most salient
of descriptive data
day to day it was
the highest highs and the
lowest lows
but in summary
there is relief
in ascension
it was a highly inspired
highly motivated
highly productive era
though muses and critics
belief comes by way
of open eyes and careful heart
where one predicted change
was astonishing improvement
which is surely more frightening
bigger and better
thicker of skin and of heart
limited in availability
still pitching a perfect game
after all these innings
and despite the errors
through genes and practice
becomes a being
worthy of the atoms
