Saturday morning
Dew clings to shoes and
Slowly seeps through
The seams
Capillary action
Pulling water into socks
Like celery stalks
The smell of
Wet earth and grass
The high-pitched chatter
Of children
The subtle thump
Of miniature cleats
Kicking a ball
Speckled with mud
And grass clippings
The air is as damp
As the players
And the nylon netting
And the popsicles
For after the game
