Hard knuckled

Hard knuckled poetry

does not start with a punchline

it breaks the barrier of speed and sound

and shows no loose cannoned shots along

the way to being in scored.

The heavy weight has come

and due for a long retrieval

it uses the wending of a river

to mark a soulless day without

knowing who

to blame

for the riot in the eastern end

of town

when no one goes to see but

everyone knows it to be there

where they do not

know how to find it

alone.
