nine innings of bad food

there
were a lot of things we would
never buy
or eat
at home
that were sold at the ballpark.
hot dogs,
chili dogs, sausages
on sticks.
tacos
strange greasy
wraps
of mysterious meats.
cotton candy
and nuts.
ice cream and beer.
but we were compelled
to fill our
bellies, bored
by nine innings of numbing
foul balls
and muted cheers.
