when I am feeling flexible
for the knock out
and forming to the floor
absorbing, the force of the shock
will they find me
sitting on the curbside
when i should've been,
taken away in an emergency car.
if i would crack in half you could see
all of my blood and all of my teeth
and the champion of, my boxing match
and before the fight you'd see me untouched
entering the ring, unroughed and unscuffed
thinking i, might still make it out
the champion.
when i, am feeling electrified
like i could win it
fighting anyone
in las vegas
if i could just, shake them off
and build my body
to reign inside the, ropes and ride the swings out
if i would crack in half you could see
all of my blood and all of my teeth
and the champion of, my boxing match
and before the fight you'd see me untouched
entering the ring, unroughed and unscuffed
thinking i, might still make it out
the champion.
