A poem that knocks you sidewards

B.H. Fairchild is a master of language. Case in point: his poem 'Body and Soul'. Beware - this is a long poem. But brilliant. I am in no way interested in baseball, but I am a lover of understanding human psychology. How Fairchild lays out such complex thought processes while relaying a story is beyond me. Simply masterful. My husband periodically reads this poem to me in the car, it never fails to move. So set aside 5 minutes or so to be dazzled.
