deceptive major league baseball
where managers wear players' uniforms
where Met-town P.A's blare their song: Duda, Duda
while on the Han River teeming with nature
a turtle midstream sticks out its neck
a sparrow like an arrow darts to third
we are all out when the game is over
with stray dogs running home
the popcorn is free at this ballpark
outside the Dong-Shan diamond
with uniforms as white as in Citi Field
kids wondering how such a big mistake
like adults spelling "city" wrong
could have gone unnoticed in the rush
parents buying over-priced hot dogs
taking selfies proud they were there
they will not smell any freshly cut grass
while waiting for the exit in extra-charge garage
but i am all smiles in my neighborhood
on a beach chair alongside my buddy
hearing the players hooting and stamping
no electric scoreboard to dazzle
simply a river than River Avenue running by
our grand slam home run is the blue blue sky
