PLAY BALL
The heresy of laughing out loud
is sharper than the fall of souls.
Granted, high and outside is also a species
of the less than supernal, like looking
into a camera and seeing the work you wrecked
revised.
The problem of the modern is the problem of the microphone.
The amplified voice carried across bleachers, barrooms,
elevators, loading docks, crypts, the dream of speed lifting
the body out of itself & into its long arc and swoon --
To fall, a perfect circle, in a field of flattened grass.
