like boxers

find nobility in violence

& no ability to see sense

like boxers

blinkered & bare breasted pugilism

how we all try to keep the fighter within

like boxers

looked for safety in a clinch

& they were bruised but unflinching

like boxers

sweet anticipation of the landing of the first blow

& how much better is the devil you know

like boxers

from tattered lip a little blood spurt

you always love the ones you hurt

though they were hanging on the ropes

they weren't about to give up hope

like boxers

falling & counting

like boxers
