The Sidelines
Sophia bites her fresh fig
the naked savor of heaven
A gardenia behind her ear
she hums a few blues tunes
spotting the game
the first of the season
The Angels vs. The Demons
a close play with a tied score
The crowd clamors for blood
Sophia scans the fans for saints
and other celebrities
The wild card triumphs
G-d takes the winner's box
shakes hands with all the players
Sophia craves another fig
wonders where that tree vanished to
