PUNCH DRUNK

A BOXER SEES STARS AND A GIRL.

Lenny manages
To stay on his feet

Even though the
Other guy hit him

Three times on the
Jaw and across his

Brow. The stars are
Bright. The voice of

His dead father says
In his head, go get him

Boy, give back what
You get, but harder,

Punch his lights out.
Someone rings a bell.

Some girl waves, he
Sees her through misty

Eyes, he nods as the
Echo of the bell dies.
