The Purest Form of Competition

body to body

hand to hand

limit to limit

mind to mind
just you and a man

some tights

   on a mat

   and for that . . .

 comes the wrestler with all his ambition

   for this . . .

is the purest form of competition

I am not into sporting-type events, wrestling or anything like that, but you really turned wrestling into emotional poetry. This is a wonderful piece!

Thanks doll face. Wrestling, especially in real life, truly is poetry in motion in you know what you're watchin'.

(omit the second "in"... I'm a little off with my typing tonight. I just got done wrestling so I'm all twitchy and prone to typos and such)

No worries. I like your analogy.
