The Stranger

THE STRANGER

little by little,
you established the core
within the influences
of math and sciences
and built up visuals in the perceptions.
like a baseball player at the plate
taking swings to connect,
a few lively factors came into play.
knuckleball, curve ball, change up,
slider, fastball, screwball,
sinker, splitter, forkball
and a few others thrown your way,
defined the countless swings without connecting.
when it's not your cup of tea,
it takes a while to adapt to the pitches
that have been thrown by you
with excerbating like circumstances.
little by little, the grip on the bat changed -
firmer and firmer
with a more confident look at the plate.
the balls thrown your way
are now starting to look less deceiving,
and the hits are beginning to drop
through the field.
life has a way of adapting within the circle.
