    why i play sports

     i run the race
    up high mountains
    down low valleys
    likethe race of my heart

    i dribble up and down the coart
    dribbling out the pain you pass at me
    putting up shots
    so i can shot down the insults you say to me

    i run the bases trying to get away from you
    you pitch me hit after hit
    i bat them down unrelentlessly

    i play sports
    to keep you out of my head
    to get away from you
    to revise me.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
