A local student here in Reno wanted to read a poem at a statewide competition, but his school said no. He had to get a federal judge to grant a restraining order against the school. Here's the poem:

the more loving one
W. H. Auden

Looking up at the stars, I know quite well
That, for all they care, I can go to hell,
But on earth indifference is the least
We have to dread from man or beast.

How should we like it were stars to burn
With a passion for us we could not return?
If equal affection cannot be,
Let the more loving one be me.

Admirer as I think I am
Of stars that do not give a damn,
I cannot, now I see them, say
I missed one terribly all day.

Were all stars to disappear or die,
I should learn to look at an empty sky
And feel its total dark sublime,
Though this might take me a little time.

Was it really worth all that fuss? Some people just can't see the forest through the trees...
