Page 1:
And though my head felt heavy,
I played on till dusk
Missing flies and pop-ups and grounders
And calling out in desperation things like
“Yours” and “take it,” but doing all right,
Tugging at my cap in just the right way,
Crouching low, my feet set.
“Hum baby” sweetly on my lips.
Page 2:
And though my head hurt,
I kept playing
Missing all the balls
And yelling
“Yours” and “take it,”
Adjusting my cap,
Bending down.
Saying “Hum baby.”
—“How I Learned English,”
Gregory Djanikan
