As I approach this week I ponder a letter written by a dear friend. Not to me but to himself as much as anyone. And so to me as well… There might be tears…
Contemplating ambition…
The Fates
Trying to win the day
Working hard, battling the fates
How life slips away

Contemplating costs…

Contemplating rest…
Dead Asleep
His ears on alert
Twitching even dead asleep
He’d never desert

Contemplating loyal…

Contemplating style…
Showmanship
The taunts and the jeers
Ladled out in pettiness
Make hollow the cheers
Or is it only
The money and the showmanship?
Rich can be lonely

Contemplating values…

Contemplating values…
Nothing Else
They both look ready
True malice or showmanship?
They both talk ready
Does being the best
Mean nothing else matters
True champs pass more tests

Contemplating sportsmanship…

Contemplating respect…
Colors Drape
Really? In a flag?
Colors drape soldiers’ coffins
No prizefighter’s rag

Contemplating crossing lines…

Contemplating going for it…
Feeling Tired
Round two no glove touch
Old champion feeling tired
Kicking the leg crushed
-gl-
Contemplating the moment…

Contemplating the wheel…
Flashes
Round one furious
Flashes from both champs but the
New more studious

Contemplating turning…

Contemplating sorrow…
From Itself
But nature can’t hide
From itself or from karma
For victims he cried

Contemplating hardship…
Day or Two
Here it has snowed some
And might stay a day or two
Locals weary some
-gl-
Contemplating not so much…
