Bleistein at the Royal Ballet

As boorish as it sounds
I have to say
That there is
An element of silliness
In the classical male ballet.
I mean
What exactly
Is the point
Of jumping high into the air
And banging your ankles together
Like a demented au pair?
And forget the full basket
And chiseled derriere
Of men in their underwear.
