Doubleheader Monday

I have walked these city streets
for blocks and blocks
some of the buildings are over a hundred years old
I pass by them without a stare
I walk across bridges that cross rivers
to look down at the boats,
barges, and replica steam ships
Breakfast is sometimes on the other side

I walk these downtown streets
sometimes with a destination
until my feet become sore.
some ask for money
to buy gasoline, or food
sometimes coffee

the ballpark rises on the other side of the river
today there is a doubleheader
and many fans are crossing the bridge
to watch two games on one day
with clouds overhead
and ballpark food permeating
the noontime air.
