One Hundred Eighty Seconds

Bow to each other. Bow to the ref.
“Fighting stance. Begin” Hesitate. Then,
a suddenly compact universe,
reduced to two. Fighters move, parry,
fighting stance. Begin. Hesitate, then
start a three minute relationship
reduced to two fighters. Move, parry.
Eyes locked, we watch peripherally,
start a three minute relationship.
I push, urge him on, move him closer.
Eyes locked, we watch peripherally,
dance, casual [...]

Only I Know How It Feels

Only, I know how it feels
In the heat of the sun
Riding on my wheels
Living for fun
Only I know how it feels
The wind on my face
As I hot rod down the trails
Soaring throught space
Only I know how it feels
Mud flying through the air
As I fly through the mud
Getting the four wheeler all muddy
Only I know how [...]

The State Of Play

The pitch war rages; It’s kick off time
The cloth cap Kings begin to sing
Weather worn faces chant in line
Cursing and urging the team to win
But behind closed doors
There’s so much more
Than there was before
A Brand
A Label
Transfer cash on the table
Agents and players
On maximum wages
It’s the state of play in the English game
‘The Beautiful Game’ of [...]

Hole in one

one perfect swing from a
hundred fifty five yards into the wind
over the marsh to a small green
beautiful draw trajectory
the ball is focused on one thing only
it hits the fringe and rolls to the flag
then dies in the hole
was I ready for a miracle?
I was hoping
but was I ready?
no
did I believe in miracles?
sure
I had you in [...]

Four Bagger

He feels it, then hears the loud crack of the hit
The connection so hard that it makes the bat split
Turn right while assessing the facts of the ball
A hairline determines home run or the wall
He’s rounding to second, no need for a coach
He can tell by the screams from the good home town folks
The ball’s [...]

Stock Car

Stock car # 98 slows down as my grandfather approaches the pit stop.
Tires smoking like a house on fire.
I can see the inpatient glare in my grandfather’s eyes
under his white helmet.
He is quickly losing the race, as
3, then 4, cars pass.
He revs his engine so loud that the whole crowd turns to stare,
And he takes [...]

Crew(Rowing)

They told me hell awaited me
Told me I would visit the brink of the valley of the shadow of death
That I would see the devils scull, enter it
That I would sit within the burning shell of some cruel dragons egg
They told me and I listened
I am self, my self, no one else
I am self; I [...]

The Save

The last shootout shot is here
And I stand between the pipes
He steps onto the ice with his
jersey with stripes.
The season’s on the line
I can’t afford to fail
Cuz if I do all my hard work
Will end in one big tale
The whistles blown and he comes down
With tremendous speed
As scared as I was at that moment
I had [...]
