You’ll play on the lawn, rubber rings pitched over
the old white tips of survey stakes.

That is where the chicken run used to be.
You imagine more of a chicken warehouse,
page 98 a chicken strip mall, a vast sports arena
where all the chickens cram in on match day.

You’ll concede that you’re drunk
on the promise of victory,
the very real chance of rain.
