Out of water. Out of order. Instinctively, he climbs aboard, puts her into light drive! Gyro: on wringer/washer that day, escaping the basement, takes to the sky!! The same summer in our backyard, my brother is overheard Firing ammo from out a clutch of tennis balls At a strike zone [pow-boing] he’s painted up on Our garage wall, one-by-one, fastballs [Pow-boing] Honing his curves; learning ways to paint All 4 quadrants of the zone [pow-boing] My brother and me: brimming with pre-Beatlemania chi Our over-active imaginings: Like bucking purebreds inside their start stalls Me: down our basement riding wringer/washer [now roto gyro]; My brother: outdoors crafting, with tennis balls, His soon-to-debut No-hitter over at the Garpike ball field Which will no doubt render him—in Little League—a really big deal. Then on game day, amidst cheering parents in the crowd, A Buzzing or whirring is heard from somewhere… Traffic noise echoing? Smacks more of a sudsy sloshing overhead! My all-city brother wonders as he searches out its source, Then finally fixing his gaze skyward and all eyes follow his… Taking in a UFO sighting of Gyroboy rotoring by. My brother and me: brimming with pre-Beatlemania chi Our over-active imaginings: Like bucking purebreds inside their start stalls Me: down our basement riding wringer/washer [now roto gyro]; My brother: outdoors crafting, with tennis balls, His soon-to-debut No-hitter over at the Garpike ball field Which will no doubt render him—in Little League—a really big deal.
