he knew a bit about that knewterribly a bit about it
the knowing makes it tougher
but some pains are so
deep only certain chemicals seepcan infiltrate those crevasses thinfissures badlybroken chinks
he
wished they were holes
holes were easier to plug
an old accurate
saying things come in threes
he wished
his exceeded

they
toppled himcame on like perfectly spaced shiny black whitedotted dominoes tipped

he was worked to the ropes to the corner
dazed
couldnt keep his elbowscouldnt
deflect the blows
breath was pounded out of him
he
gasped
his head was an easy target
to put him
downanout
put
him away
It wasnt
interested
It
held him up
It wanted every
breath after he lost to cause him pain
It was an artist
a mechanic sadistic
It certainly got Its rocks off beating
him
then backing into Its corner It spit
Its mouthpiece onto the canvaspounded Its gloves together chiding him I can’t wait until tomorrow, can’t hardly
wait.
