A Rumble for the Regime
In the Arena of Steelburg there fought
Two boxers, who, before bloodthirsty crowds,
And, in their corners, exacting trainers,
Each other beat from guide rope to guide rope,
And back again, across the mat, until,
At round’s end, when ring the relief bell did,
They sank, with battered bodies…
