Crash Davis
With Translation by Erica Frank


I believe in the soul: the cock, the pussy,
the small of a woman's back;
The hangin' curve ball, high fiber, good scotch;
That the novels of Susan Sontag are self indulgent, overrated crap.
I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone.
I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing astroturf and the designated hitter.
I believe in the sweet spot, softcore pornography,
Opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas eve,
And I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days.
-"Crash" Davis-

Here's a re-write into Witchy-ese,

I believe in the soul:
The sacred poles of sexuality that entwine men and women
Energetic play, good health, enjoying the richness of life;
That popularity, no matter how profitable, is not wisdom.
I believe that the world is populated by good folk;
that there is no vast conspiracy to control & destroy us.
I believe that all good folk should strive against artifice.
I believe in romance, in the gentle rise of passion,
Waiting for fullness, not forcing things before their proper time,
And I believe in taking time to enjoy the small, sweet things that make life worthwhile.

--Erica Frank, paraphrasing "Crash" Davis
