blue (2013)

francis, sage

he was a southpaw but had a killer right swing

an outlaw inside of the ring

every now and then he'd be put against the ropes but then he'd bounce back

catch a second wind and throw blows 'til noses crack

he smashed mouths

he saw red and blacked out

received a couple pats on the back for the smack downs

negative reinforcement

never did he endorse it

had the business sense to wait for press conferences to talk shit

he wasn't a dullard

though he'd never say much

properly mothered but his father taught him how to take a punch

it was bare knuckle touch of tough love

when he got drunk enough he took his kid down to the gym and fit him up with gloves

tied together with a shoelace

took em apart put em on

looked in the mirror

practiced his screw face

said

this is for you
