Fielding: A Round
2008-05-12 19:04
by Ember Nickel

An unassisted triple play is not
The culmination of tension that grows
Throughout a game. The tension of a spot
That such a play can come in only shows

Through offense. Unassisted triple plays
Can only come under a threat Two on
Or three, nobody out-offensive days
Are made of such, until at once they're gone

Within a blinding instant. Unassisted
Triple plays change momentum, not imply
The victors. There are few tales of eyes misted
In memory recalling them. But why?

Ephemeral but brilliant, the un-
Assisted play's one moment in the sun.
