Wind blew sand off the infield and into
The faces and eyes of the spectators, all
Related to the pee-wee players attempting
To play a complicated team sport none
Of them entirely knew how to play. It was cold
Enough to watch your breath. All sorts
Of legal, political, and military shenanigans
Were in the news, although the mothers
Huddled in blankets and cheering their boys
(And one girl with thick, black braids)
Chose to discuss which shows and sequels
Their kids preferred. The day had begun
In the warm before the storm; the night
Would end in a late spring snow. Meantime,
Small boys tried to hit, catch, and throw.
