Metaphor

It’s like Kevin Costner said
In the guise of Crash something or another
One hit a week
Is the difference between an all star
And an also ran
Or someone who never even gets a chance
That is true in life
As well
If you do not believe me
Or Costner
Or Crash something or another
Start getting one more hit a week
And tell me that
Your house doesn’t get bigger
Your girlfriend prettier
And if some of those extra hits
Fly over the wall
You might be able to afford a winter home in Arizona
Or a fishing cabin on the Upper Peninsula
And a fifty thousand dollar a year budget for whores

Some years later

In another life
Costner pitched a perfect game
For the Tigers

It brought tears to my eyes
