perfect insignificance.

I realized a dream today.
It was stupid, really.

But I plodded into that stadium with memories of swifter shoes
and kicked up leaves that were dying to be turned.

No leaves left I made the right decision, sat with the evens, faced down the odds.

For an eternally brief over-an-hour I chatted with the empties and contemplated the crowds
that could have been there
like they were last time

on that turf-on-turf covered concrete field
when i fell asleep to sunny whistle songs
with a chubby girl and her once lover friends

i heard the shins once.
felt my shins twice.

i sat in an empty stadium today.
it was a lovely game.
