I am unbiased:
I root for the Yankees.
Severino will start tonight
And all of us hope: just
Show up for the big game.
After last night–a torrential rain
And twisters here and there–
The home field is green,
Today is light autumn-fine, and
Tonight should be good.
I see the roster, in my head.
I wonder about expectations,
And I think:
Just show up for the game.
