rock stars in baseball diamonds
I always thought twinkle twinkle little star
was a song about baseball
—the diamond in the sky
a destination where former greats would play
after moving on from their game
once graduating from little league
my thought process evolved into imagining
how the field was expanding
the players including all the young rock stars
who kept dying w/some regularity
right in the prime of their lives
january two thousand twenty-four
