baseball game

sing to the flag
and clap
warm-up and
the game is on
start and pause
meet and greet
pitch and catch
and pitch and catch
and pitch and
wheeee
hit.

Run and pause
and circle discuss.
waves of fans
and warm-up again

windup
pitch
and drop the ball
steal away
no.
back where you were

fetch me a hot dog
get me some peanuts
oh
home run while you were gone
there's mustard on your shirt

breathe real slow
and watch the players
in white and gold
red and blue
run and pause
pitcher spit and wind-up
glance to the right
glance to the left

there's the game
and the runs
and the points
and errors

there's the slow motion
no motion
fast motion
fascination

of socks and cleats
interplay of
time
space
crowd
and players
on the bright green diamond
