Stars at Night

I look up at the sky
"Strike One!"
I wish there were stars out tonight

I look down at my feet
My glove in hand
Swaying from left to right

I look at the batter
"Strike Two!"
He doesn't bite

I look down at my feet
my shadow cast'd
by the most artificial of lights

I look up at the sky
"Strike Three!"
I wish there were stars out at night
