I’m going eight rounds with this bruiser
he hits you in the legs
the gut
the hands
the feet
the head
the mouth
the teeth
what do I do?
do I fight back?
I sit there and take it
rope-a-dope
until he’s done his worst
and then I’ll struggle up off the mat
first on all fours
then stand up
one leg at a time
wipe the blood off my knuckles
then
kick away the tubes and bags
and stride into street
still standing
stronger
