The narrator tells us that he's married to a "gloomy boss" . He's grateful to him for giving him the "advice wave" , which made him feel better about himself. The narrator says that he can't really do anything on his own, but he can always depend on others for help. He says that when he sprained his arm, he lost everything, but that there's "a way love" for him, even if he doesn't have the physical strength to play baseball. He thanks the boss for being able to test himself, and for encouraging him to be optimistic about his future. He also says that thanks to the boss's encouragement, he was able to "rehabilitate for sports injuries, a body that couldn't be coaching in 101 even though I had convinced myself . . it was pitch black ." The narrator is sad that he has to go to a meeting, but says he'll come back later.
