As a child, Orlando enjoyed wide open spaces
How, a sense of his existence within vast voids, he felt some significance
As though, his very presence brought meaning to a place
Compensation, he never considered because he wasn’t that deep
for an otherwise meaningless and uncontrollable world
Orlando as a man made a name, in an obscure, little played game
Baseball
All the way through from April to the fall
In winter time, he vacationed to the Southern Hemisphere, catching the summers out there
Orlando liked hunting big game
And, that’s when he came upon a way to combine his passions, all three
Although, observers agreed, it was not at all a pretty sight to see
