Full Moon - Diamond Cuts the Circle
last night about eleven
at the end of the baseball game
they said it was full
it filled the TV screen
while the credits ran
& Tim McCarver recapped
craters & creases shaded out
on the left edge -
there's a cold night for you
umpire try to rub that ball
with your magic Jersey mud
it will never fly like junk
Willie Randolph's double
over the right fielder's head
hitched a three run inning behind it
the Mets won oh glory oh goddess
a bench of boys with bats & bucks
but the moon was not full
(1992)
