'Met'aphorically Speaking - (The 2015 Baseball World Series) Poem by Eugene Levich

'Met'aphorically Speaking - (The 2015 Baseball World Series)



“Baseball is a metaphor for life, ”
Saith Kohelith.
“No, life is a metaphor for baseball; ”
Thus spake Zarathustra.

As in life,
So in baseball,
Everything can change
In a moment.
Glee becomes sorrow
In an instant;
Despair turns to elation
In the blink of an eye.

It's all 'Met'aphysical:
Maybe next year!
“Ya gotta believe! '
“Go Mets! ”

This poem is written to honor the memory of Barry Talkington, teacher of Shakespeare and philosopher of baseball extraordinaire. I hope he and Yogi Berra get to talk baseball in heaven.
