A Cornered Box (The Sport of Boxing)
Poem
Room in the corner
for rest.
Where arms sleep—
a knockout test.
Cells, cells inside
the champion...
called on champion
for bis, except
calling champion,
champion to breath.
Fores, tris, so on...
But the corner,
stinks like perfume,
stinks like cologne,
a jacket creating
box.
Spreads say say—
stay a little longer.
Left!
Which was another
strategy...
up, side, top, in,
then to
the upper corner.
Rare.
