Here’s PNDP assignment #5: to go to a Wonderland youth sports game and try to tell the story of it through photos. Also, to write a poem about it. I chose the Medford High School JV soccer team, photographed a game in disgusting rain, and wrote a poem inspired by this video.

Even though

The grass is plastic

The dirt is plastic

These boys still run the old fashioned way

As peasants did in the Middle Ages

Toe first, in leather shoes

Toe first,

As the body intended

Toe first,

As they did in Athens

Barefoot

In the rain
