PETE ROSE has finally after 30 years has 'confessed' to betting on baseball!!! ROSE aside from the 'sin' of betting on games when he was the manager of the CINCINNATTI REDS would be in the HALL of FAME!!! Congrats to the late BART GIAMATTI as BASEBALL COMMISSIONER for 'doing the right thing!!!
an homage to Wallace Stevens
The baseball player Pete Rose
Dressed in a Cinncinnatti Reds uniform
On a box of breakfast cereal looking
At Pete Rose in uniform on a box of cereal looking
At uniformed Pete Rose on a cereal box looking
At the ballplayer Pete Rose on a cereal box looking
At Pete Rose emperor of hits looking
At a ballplayer trying to halt an obsession
If-he-can stop looking as if in a mirror
At Pete Rose on a cereal box looking
At a dark-shadowed image of Pete Rose looking
For an escape to meaning as millions of fans
Want only to remember looking at Pete Rose
On a box of breakfast cereal and what something so simple
As a cereal box can mean to a young boy
Looking at an image of what Pete Rose once was
Adorning a cereal box while the ballplayer pure
Agony in his dreams replaying memories
From cereal boxes repeated endlessly...
