Baseball's Gone Dark
It's the top of the first inning
Fans 'still filing into the park'
Tho' the game's now beginning
It's quiet, you can hear in the dark
For the fans are made out of cardboard
They're propped up in the front rows
No cheers, no boos; they can't keep score
No "Beer here" either; they've got no dough
On nearby streets, no one's in the taverns
The empty stadium's a giant cavern
The ballpark's a cemetery, morbid, funereal
Made for 2020, strange and surreal
