chain
raze
they
wrap
a
rash
of
interlocked
metal
rings
around
each
car
to
make
it
move
against
its
will
.
some
vehicles
are
nearly
killed
by
the
crushed
gravel
that
lulled
them
into
a
false
sense
of
security
before
they
were
upended
.
the
game
ends
when
the
chain chokes
the
chest
of
a
man
.
he
wriggles
free
,
a
fearless
fish
so
far
from
home
,
and
shares
his
contempt
for
baseball.
it's
all
he
sees
anymore
when
he's
channel_surfing
late
at
night
.
there
he'll
be
,
sinking
into
some
senseless
medical
drama
,
when
a
grizzled physician
saying
, "
this
is
the
sickest
man
i've
ever
seen
,"
gives
way
to
a
crowd
baying
for
blood
after
the
player
standing
on
the
pitcher's
plate
goes
to
pieces
in
the
bottom
of
the
ninth.
and
yet
he
can't
bring
himself
to
turn
the
tv
off
.
