and run
from the
second wave
in the rubble
of twisted beam
bodies lie on top
and spirits rise
to see a new world
wives forced to
put on working boots
five cent in wage
while children's' fingers
are used
as tools
grungy
and
dirty
after the war
is done
they all
will have a hand in it
not wanting to give it back
women grew power
got masculine over night
held offices to
kept cobwebs out
but after the chores are done
negro leagues
would play
shadow ball
bloodied
undefeated
baseball from the soul
