And shivered in his ghastly suit of grey,
Legless, sewn short at elbow. Through the park
Voices of boys rang saddening like a hymn,

but I'm giving it to myself as a gift
on a day nearly canceled by sunlight
when the entire hill is approaching
...

I take the snap from the center, fake to the right, fade back...
I've got protection. I've got a receiver open downfield...
What the hell is this? This isn't a football, it's a shoe, a man's
brown leather oxford. A cousin to a football maybe, the same

In the Shreve High football stadium,
I think of Polacks nursing long beers in Tiltonsville,
And gray faces of Negroes in the blast furnace at Benwood,
And the ruptured night watchman of Wheeling Steel,

"Is my team ploughing,
That I was used to drive
And hear the harness jingle
When I was man alive?"

like a campus dog, a fraternity ghost
waiting to stay home from football games.

She's wearing her nightie, and she thinks, "Well, hell,
I might's well put this in as well," and then

Twenty-Two stalwarts in stripes and shorts
Kicking a ball along,
Set in a square of leather-lunged sports
Twenty-two thousand strong,
