THE BASEBALL FIELD.

The stadium was silhouetted against the mountains

He walked in like a cat

Silence

The moonlight glittered on the turf

He glanced at the scoreboard

But the numbers were nothing but zeroes

He looked all around him

Everything was as empty as the universe

He looked at the big screen,

Imagining himself on it

He took out a ball and threw it around

Dreaming that he would play in a big league game

Imagining himself hitting a game-winning grand-slam

The crowd roaring like a tornado

The janitor picked up his broom

And the seats were empty again
