SUCKERPUNCH!

SUCKERPUNCH!

Like a suckerpunch and a spinning roundhouse kick
I can feel this whole thing
playing out deep down in the pit of my stomach.
My bones chill
as my heart
pumps stunned blood
through strained veins
that wanted
to give up
a long time ago
anyway.

What You Don't Do

What You Don't Do


There are times when your

course is plotted more
by what you do not do
more so than
what you can make happen.

How you don’t aggress
has a lot to do with how
you don’t embarrass yourself

Sometimes knowing the odds are stacked
can keep you from a
defeat that’s
at best
emasculating;
at worst
a live testament
to your worst
and
how your best
will always fall short.
