rain delay
let’s break it up boys
and so the huddle at the mound
gives way to an impending fastball
the home plate umpire calls it a strike
—he’s a regular douchebag
the stadium is jam-packed
copping a buzz on bud light & goose island
the chisox are back on top
taking on the loveable losers in comiskey
there’s a good chance of rain
but there’s nary an umbrella in sight
this place doesn’t have a retractable roof
—that’s just plain wrong
june two thousand twenty-three
