in trouble again

by Antwan Fields - Aries

please accept my deepest apologies
i didn't try to break your window
but mr. wistrom, if its any consolation
the ball went really slow
this stupid explanation didn't satisfy him
and mr. wistrom was extremely irate
i was all alone here
the other ball players had jumped the gate
so he knew my mother
and he took me to see her
he ranted and he raved
i begged god to be saved
and then my mother sighed 
pinched the bridge of her nose
and said
who were you playing with this time? the winslows?
those bad-ass boys
why don't you stop?
who else was playing?
to this day i don't know
why i wasn't saying
mr.wistrom left, saying he would talk to those boys
and while my brother laughed, she could definantly see
so she took me to the back of the house 
and whipped the living tar out of me.

Reason for writing:

    when i was nine years old-before i really knew how to play baseball- i hit my first home run through old mr.wistrom's window. this is as it happened. i stopped being friends with the winslows-their names have been changed because they might read this. i made up with mr.wistrom, but i havent seen him since i was 11.
