five & a quarter ounces avoirdupois : an eephus ain’t nothin’:

twilight seagulls skreak & skritter of light over the ball-

park falling & failing & or fungoes a nightingale’s pastoral

evasions: light ( when we aren’t watching ) twi- a pleat avoir-

dupois : light the way you enter a church twi- a pleat one

minute the bleachers are empty next minute an old lady

whispering hush fans milling night mulling everything is going

to be going to sleep : octagon a lozenge little island of light lit

& a world outside the scope of light : gemini diamonds time

(a few hectoring distance markers) arcs & stars are forsythia

avoirdupois mr. sutcliffe may we have the lights please
