20 It’s inevitable to know
where she might go
They stand and wait
and never hesitate.

They take the shot
never an afterthought
Their cameras held high
wanting to pry.

The star flees fast
she’s free at last
She hides no more
the end to the war.

But back again
Pitchers in the bullpen
They sneak around
without a sound.

They take the pic
oh so quick
and run and hide
a great divide.

The star flees fast
she’s free at last
She hides no more
the end to the war.
