PASTIME
by Ted Richer
1.
At Fenway—
. . .
I sat with my brother—in the bleachers.
. . .
The game (past and present) played out—
. . .
Williams and The Teammates swung:
. . .
On time.
. . .
The Sox won, then lost, then lost again.

I sit with my brother—with the Sox winning.
. . .
And still I wish for extra innings.
