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
