Catch
I never caught a ball. Why would I? Why do men need to be around balls? (the rubber kind) Are you more of a man if you throw a ball and less so if you catch one? I do neither. My father once tried to throw me a ball when I was a child but I just stood there. No one has ever thrown a ball to me since or even considered it. What would I do if I caught a ball? I have nowhere to put it I’d certainly never throw it back Please don’t ever throw me a ball.
TL;DR
- The author questions the necessity of men interacting with balls.
- They recall a childhood instance of not catching a ball thrown by their father.
- The author has never had a ball thrown to them and does not wish for it to happen.
- They ponder what they would do with a caught ball, concluding they have no use for it.
