# Rain Delay, Broadcast
**by Bruce Robinson**

*"Friday it rained all day - there was no ball game. So we stayed home, we listened to it on the radio." - Chico, in the Marx Brothers’ “Duck Soup”*

In this evening’s

lack of a game worth waiting for

in this evening’s

distortion of the spacetime’s damp
moral arc of ground, fence, and ball,
call it a toss-up, the raincheck

of this evening.
