The Playoffs


while i watch the playoffs
you use my phone to call
some other man

you stay until
the fifth inning
then you say you have
to leave

i watch you exit
like a pitcher heading
for the showers

somewhere someone
is keeping score

you perfect your game
with each man

love is the best curve
a woman can throw
