Judd and Nelson, fused by a nelson into
one creature
a creature of arms, and legs, and sweat
beautiful
repulsive
the desk riffraff watch from armchairs
the wannabees cheer from gymnasium bleachers
But Judd and Nelson are
one half of a larger whole
The desk riffraff watch TV’s from chairs
Others watch from gymnasium bleachers
But Judd and Nelson are one half of a larger whole
One the blade and the other the full haft of an aristotelean knife
Judd scoops a calf
relinquishing a neck
The ring is a flacon
Warm breath mixes with sweat and the salty canvas
There can be just one winner
But both competitors walk away better men
