THE 46TH PSALM ON REFORMATION SUNDAY

In the 7th inning of the 5th game

we anticipate each pitch, secretly

pleased with our physical

conditioning. Aren't we attending?

We can hold this tension.

This is the song of post-moderns.

This side sings bold face.

The other side will sing italics.

This is the song of call and response

in our time. God is our refuge,

but he still hasn't had his turn.

We will not fear, though earth be moved.

Baseball is the game played without a clock.

We want something to happen soon.
