to those who said he
wouldn't win

"in giving?"
in doing
"what if he loses?"

a couple of minutes of silence
then:
"i'll do something else"
coldness, it is dead-easy

"and who'll come watch?"
red in ardour
"everyone. but they must pay
for it"
then no one'll come. simple.
that it was true
only people
let's not admit others
or those others

in between
a Deep Enmity,
a True War
"oh no! not That one!" satisfaction
all over his face "But
we must let them know we Love. they
will be furious they can't reach up to us"
a couple of days more
to tell the truth
