This written poem is poet’s recollection of the original Babe poem he wrote in December 1983.
The poet feels good that the ending of the poem is the same as done originally back in 1983.
and Babe pointed, swung
the Babe walked up towards the plate
paused
then pointed to a place over the center-field fence
in the batter’s box he stood
ball pitched
the bat met ball, crack
ball flew thru the air
over the fence
at the place promised
and stood still.
David of Danbury

As game’s BALL flies
As the game’s BALL flies
each players’
foreground scope is ‘riveted’
then ball’s RELEASE
It flies
aerial
bounce bounce
aerial
LAND.
It went thru the hands of stArs,
ALL on the fly
