-The game through water-

At the fountainhead,–– the bubbler

behind the backstop, the water
is a clear fall unimpeded by industry.

After the girls had their drink, the sandlotter

moves in to peer through the falling water

to where the game is playing-out, a spectator

to what baseball might look like when played

on the home field of another planet.
