"just root.root.root for the home team"

i think i startled her.

because i nearly jumped at her
when she walked into
class today.

"what is that on your shirt!!?"

silence. perhaps a gasp.

speaking more slowly,
i try again.
"do you know? your shirt?
do you know what it says?"

she stares.
and giggles
nervously.

she has no idea.

i try one more time,
"my baseball team."

i make the 
universally understood swinging
baseball motion.
"daegu, samsung lions?
same-same...
minnesota twins."

"ok, teacher."
is her only response.

she graciously allowed me
photograph
to document my
disbelief.

korea is truly amazing.
truly amazing
at copying.


i'm pretty sure you doesn't know it.
but it's rooting.
for my
home team.
