I can feel her body rhythms change as I slip out of bed after midnight.
she says, placing her toast warm hand on my cold thigh.
I'm not the only one with this problem.
I'm developing a reputation, whispers an affable man at the ballpark.
I imagine any number of private investigators following any number of cars across the city.
I imagine them creeping about in the parking lot, shining pen lights on license plates, trying to guess what we're up to.
Think of the reports they must prepare.
I wonder if our wives are disappointed that we're not out discoloring with frizzy-haired teenagers.
Night after night, virtually not a word is spoken.
Each man seems to know his assignment.
Not all bring sod.
Some carry rakes, some hose, some hoses, which, when joined together, snake across the infield and outfield, dispensing the blessing of water.
Others cradle in their arms bags of earth for building up the infield to meet the thick living sod.
I often remain high up in the stadium looking down on the men moving over the earth, dark as ants, each sodding, cutting, watering, shaping.
Occasionally the moon finds a knife blade as it trims the sod or slices away a chunk of artificial turf and tosses the reflection skyward like a bright ball.
My body tingles.
There should be symphony music playing.
Everyone should be humming America the Beautiful.
Toward dawn, I watched the men walking away in groups, like small patrols of soldiers, carrying instead of arms the tools and utensils which breathe life back into this arid ball field.
Row by row, night by night, we lay the little squares of sod, moist as chocolate cake with icing green.
