hey Annie what was that that voice just now what was it what in anything
if you
okay you must have heard that I'm sorry right we got no choice
ray people will come ray they come to Iowa for reasons they can't even fathom
they turn up your driveway not knowing for sure why they're doing it
they'll arrive at your door is innocent as children longing for the past
of course we won't mind if you look around you say it's only $20 per person
pass over the money without even thinking about it
where there's money they have peace there like ray just sign the papers
they'll walk out to the bleachers sit in the Shred speeds on a perfect afternoon
they'll find have reserved seats somewhere along on the face lines so the
second they were children and cheered their heroes and they'll watch the game
it'll be as if they dipped themselves in magic waters the memories will be so
thick ray when the bank opens in the morning though for clothes people will
come ray you're broke ray you sell now or you lose everything
the one constant through all the years Ray has been baseball America is ruled
by like an army of steam rollers it's been erased like a blackboard rebuilt
and erased again but baseball is marked the time
this field this game is a part of our past race it reminds us all that once
was good and it could be again
people will come ray people most definitely come ray you will lose
everything you will be evicted
when you're grinning at you ghosts if you build it
he will come
Oh God what what is it
it's my father
he's his pain
just
all right it was you
my god I only saw him years later when he was worn down by life look at him
he's got his whole life in front of him and I'm not even a glint in his eye
