EXTRA INNINGS

On the one side—exactly the right series 
of deftly pitched
words,

exhibiting
just the right spin
to affect a slight curve,

could 
irrevocably
change the world.

Then again, on the other—better,
by a long shot, to go 
running-

off 
in all directions
at once, however recklessly—

than to ever come across 
as lazy, 
or 

late, or 
cagey, or worse-
still, some banned word 

like—irresolved.
