    Beaten Boxer

     Feeling punch drunk
    Beaten, bloodied and bruised
    Cut up, thrashed, cheated
    Knocked around and used
     
    Nine rounds in ring
    With a broken nose and swollen eyes
    The guy was much bigger
    The fact I lost was no surprise
     
    Why did I do it?
    No one even knows
    I took my lumps, was defeated
    Punch after punch I took those blows
     
    A light weight
    In a Heavy weights class
    All I got was pummeled
    Then knocked to my ass
     
    Even in defeat
    I still have my pride
    A lofty goal I had
    In the ring I tried
     
    Out classed and out sized
    I was the smaller man
    With a little more training
    Some day will I beat him? I think I really can!
     
    D.B. Johnson

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
