On my big television screen
all there
The big baseball game
The World Series
At each second
the announcer wrings
out time
as one squeezes water
from a bath towel
Each turn of the wrist
a happening
Each turn of the wrist
a drop of water
Now, now, now
What more than now?
A puff from the cigar
The crack of the bat
A straining to see
where the ball lands
And remembering
always remembering
this is happening
to lucky me
in my lucky house
by the sea
in a land that
entertains
