When we reach the field, he first stands on the mound, makes an awkward attempt at a wind-up, then does a little sprint from first to about halfway to second.
I think I know what you brought, he says, gesturing toward the box, but let me see anyway.
I open the box, in which rests a square foot of sod.
The grass smooth and pure, cool as a swatch of satin, fragile as baby's hair.
The man says, reaching out a finger to test the moistness of it.
Oh, I see.
We walk across the field, the harsh, prickly turf making the bottoms of my feet tingle, to the left field corner where, in the angle formed by the foul line and the warning track, I lay down the square foot of sod.
That's beautiful, my friend says, kneeling beside me, placing his hands, fingers spread wide on the verdant square, leaving a print faint as a Veronica.
I take from my belt a sickle-shaped blade, the kind used for cutting carpet.
I measure along the edge of the sod, dig the point in, and pull carefully toward me.
There's a ripping sound, like tearing an old bed sheet.
I hold up the square of artificial turf, like something freshly killed, while all the time digging the sharp point into the packed earth I have exposed.
I replace the sod lovingly, covering the newly-bared surface.
Protest, I say.
But it could be more, the man replies.
I hoped you'd say that.
It could be, if you'd like to come back tomorrow night.
Tomorrow night would be fine, but there will be an admission charge.
A square of sod.
A square of sod two inches thick of the same grass.
