The long canoe met Coles Creek silent and strong.
Then SPLASH! The ripples swept the stillness away.
Seconds went by before the boy appeared
with an old, brown baseball, waterlogged and loved.
The man escaped through trees, obscured by the woods.
Holding the pistol tight, the man emerged
at a creek, the water cold and black and dead
and SPLASH! The gun sunk straight through the field of dreams.
