Endymion’s Dad
with apologies to John Keats
A softball injury is a pain for ever
Its scars decrease, but it will never
Pass into nothingness; but still won’t keep
Chip from playing, though his basement seeps.
Nor will night feedings, diapers, and Auden teething.
Therefore, on Saturday, as we are wreathing
A pit of mud; but Chip’s tractor will move earth,
Unless Maryrose has yet another birth.
Of his lefthanded nature comes expert play,
His near-perfect attendance shows all the way
To be indie-rock yet rock the game: yes, in spite of all,
The suburbs killing him, the uncool pall
Of Silver Spring, yet he’ll go till June,
His very presence makes us hip till noon.
