Runs scored could be the most important
stat of all; it’s where rubber meets the spikes,
as they say, crossing the plate like neon
numbers sparking a 1950s pinball machine
flashing gypsy green eyes with torn purple
dress & left breast spilling out, holdover
from La Barraca, a la Lorca’s mercurial
animation.

Of course, runs batted in are equally important.
