Risk

7/31/09

Can't get away from it

no matter how safe you play,

even telling the truth

has it's own surly dangers

when not often welcomed

making people feel uncomfortable

as they keep theirs hidden,

which in degree, I'm guilty of,

sometimes not fully expressing,

or engaging, in Big Game way,

and last night at softball

nursing sore shoulder, hamstring,

I didn't go full out,

commanding myself to be controlled

without diving for balls,

twisting, turning, for pop ups,

so we lost, partly because

there was 'rational restraint'

at which my core rebels,

though I understand rules,

laws, what's socially acceptable,

yes, even wisdom to live by

that makes perfect sense

in order to extend the time

of being healthy contributor

while able, though railing against it,

thinking to risk is real living.
