Read the excerpt from “How I Learned English.”Someone said “shin” again,There was a wild stamping of hands on the ground,A kicking of feet, and the fitOf laughter overtook me too,And that was important, as importantAs Joe Barone asking me how I wasThrough his tears, picking me upAnd dusting me off with hands like swatters,And though my head felt heavy,I played on till duskMissing flies and pop-ups and groundersAnd calling out in desperation things like“Yours” and “take it,” but doing all right,Tugging at my cap in just the right way,Crouching low, my feet set.“Hum baby” sweetly on my lips.How do things change for the speaker after he laughs with the other boys?
