I'm not a real good reviser, but I'm working on it. Please tell me what you think.
Man on First taking Third on a Single to Right
Helmet down and pumping
he slides head first.
The wet dirt skittles
and smells like horses racing--
his eyes squint for the call.
His talk spins in tornadoes
picking up the Taj Mahal
scraps of metal
and junk from dumpsters
Anything but stop signs
I carry the scars
from reaching for stars
that turned into bars.
In front of me over my shoulder
the robin fidgets on a wire.
Experiments
are often uncertain
but never wrong.
Even spiders sometimes hunt
dangled past their webs.

Personally I think that even poems before the editing process have their merits but I really like what you've done with "Man on First etc" I like the singularity of the experience, I think it was a good choice.
