lunar scarface

                    his tricky eyes

not that he was . . .  complaining

they threw him more curves than Satchel Paige ever did

he saw Paige throw three innings during an exhibition game at Wrigley Field

faced nine batters

Kd four who went fishing after his curveball

at least his curves allowed him to repent

look again

and see what it was he screwed up

surface

       not scarface

but even then corrected he remained fond of his eyes tricks

they were after all just another way of seeing things and he was fond of their new perspectives the curves when they occurred

however they couldnt all be tricks of his eyes

his temperament must have fed others or else he wouldnt be susceptible to his dyslexia

how many happy accidents happened in Mankindes existence that SUDDENLY and unexpectedly were incalculably valuable  the humanoid beast that first picked up a broken tree limb and clubbed its attacker and that shard a brilliant accident fleeing across searing the gulf of collective unconsciousness and stuck in every worthwhile beasts brain on every farflung escaped clod  every continent

every gnarly club  refined to a spear  the long bow and arrow  a sling 

every survival incurred

then Thoughtfulness latently provoked 

unfortunately outstepped by violence

scarred face

See the barren moon?
