Relationships.
The Bronx is up and the Battery's down
Mets vs. Yankees
A rivalry
with a pitcher from Taiwan
everything's made in China
these days
#55 Matsui
Hits a home run
worth his millions?
Only the Yankee owner
knows for sure,
and the fans
don't forget the fans
He's the spitting image
of his dead mother,
plugged into his IPOD
riveted by the game—
he refuses to heed his
grandmother and her request
for chores completed.

In One House
The Bronx is up and the Battery's down
Mets vs. Yankees
A rivalry
with a pitcher from Taiwan
everything's made in China
these days
#55 Matsui
Hits a home run
worth his millions?
Only the Yankee owner
knows for sure,
and the fans
don't forget the fans
He's the spitting image
of his dead mother,
plugged into his IPOD
riveted by the game—
he refuses to heed his
grandmother and her request
for chores completed.
