A chapter in the book Poems

With a Shot

by Bill Schott

Entering the moments that hang

as the definition of a life

flapping in my face

by the breathless breeze

though also frozen

like a snapshot

Mentoring those learners of auld lang syne

a rendition of our strife

winning case by case

as we crossed the seven seas

to be the chosen

in the sandlot

Splintering into songs we sang

with a little drum and fife

living through disgrace

never on our knees

now the shows end

with a shot
