on the road then
on the walk
then at the bar
then at the gate
then on the stairs,
then at the cash
machine then in our seats
to see the lineup spread
before us then we watched
the linescore build and
cheered when one misguided
soul broke free and ran
the outfield shirttails
flying arms windmilling
impulse now a costumed
character we applauded but
did not condone, officially,
falling into line again.
