Here's a poem I like:

"Nothing Will Cure the Sick Lion But to Eat an Ape"

by Marianne Moore

Perceiving that in a masked ball
attitude, there is a hollowness
that beauty's light momentum can't redeem;
since disproportionate satisfaction anywhere
lacks a proportionate air,

he let us know without offense
by his hands' denunciatory
upheaval, that he despised the fashion
of curing us with an ape--making it his care
to smother us with fresh air.


Not bad for a Yankees' fan. I guess we all have something we need forgiven.
