Before
the
Game
Pennants wave
on the souvenir stand
Sausages snap,
sizzle with onions on the
grill
Girls with mitts
practice catches to be made
Scorecard
Ohhhh-ficial scorecard
Boys, wearing caps of
faraway teams,
laugh, shove
Peanut shells crunch
underfoot
Cheese
oozes
over nachos
Joy
thick as the perfume
of popcorn and
boiled hot dogs
fills the air
as
ticket takers call,
This way
This way
to the game
