Like
Pudge.
Like
Bench.
Like
Yogi.
Opening
Day
on the
glistening green
shimmering
diamond,
with
dirt under his nails
he
scoops
the
ball
from
his mitt,
tosses
back to the ace,
crouches,
gives
signal,
waits
for
the curve
of his
smile,
and
spits
o - u
- t.

A Quadrille poem for dVerse. Exactly 44 words (title excluded), including the word “shimmer” (or variant as I've used here).
