Round 4:
Law stands tall,
gloves slick with blood
and victory.
I lie on the mat, dazed,
blinking at the lights.
7...
8.....
9....
You're out.
The law wins.
Again.

Round Three:
Didn't hear the bell,
punched like a sucker.
In desperation I lash-out,
missed again.
Law throws everything,
fine print, statutes, case law.
I stagger, breath rasps, ribs ache.
Ref steps in, counting me out,
4... 5... 6...
I'm ok, i'm ok.
ding ding
saved by the bell.

Round 2:
Sweat drips.
Judge marks his scorecard.
I stumble on moral ambiguity.
Law lands a straight right, citation to the jaw.
Bloody towel hovers in the corner
ready.
ding

Made it through, just.
