When did I first hear about baseball?
From whom? Dad out in the garage
with the radio late at night. No,
even before then. My grandfather.
Us out in the driveway in early summer
painting a bookcase. He shows me
how to brush the strokes, while in between
providing slow detailed instructions
on how to properly oil a baseball glove.
