Dwayne Brenna - "Split Finger"

Used to throw the screwball
but pronated hands and elbows
don’t make healthy arms
Fernando Valenzuela found this out
too late

Took a while
to stretch my fingers out but I
enjambed a ball
and held it there for weeks
watching Jen on TSN

Then winter came
I threw it in the gym
for six months straight

So what’s it do?
It fades
like memories of Mathewson
It dies
like a wounded skunk
and leaves an odor at your door

When it’s working
no one hits that thang


Spitball
