girls in pencil skirts
walk down the sphere
of grass with bent backs
the guys in blue jeans
bleached smiles and skinny
arms strong enough
to hit or swing
they all sit in a circle
brightly painted cheeks
hollering at 8 p.m. like a catcall
yellow more
demon than sunlight
in a soccer-match of dignity
he shoots and
he score
