Two by two, to Timbuktu, watching the preamble to his vegetative state
Rope-a-dope, a cautious slope, setting to fire from the gate
Flame surged, feet merged…swept up in a seamless blur
Awareness urged, the white flag’s purged…hallmark in corner paid slur.
Back fed, delusions said, motivation slow to percolate
Quick feed, slow bleed, letting the skin marinate
Light stab, swift jab, birthed through motion
Re-run, high spun, bringing about commotion
Objectivized meat, rinse-repeat, turn a hook to roll the page
Ref stalls, opponent falls, strobe lights flood the stage
Roll to ten, count and spend, nothing goes unchanged
Two to one, sign and done, it’s all prearranged

Two by two, to Timbuktu, watching the preamble to his vegetative state
Rope-a-dope, a cautious slope, setting to fire from the gate
Flame surged, feet merged…swept up in a seamless blur
Awareness urged, the white flag’s purged…hallmark in corner paid slur.
Back fed, delusions said, motivation slow to percolate
Quick feed, slow bleed, letting the skin marinate
Light stab, swift jab, birthed through motion
Re-run, high spun, bringing about commotion
Objectivized meat, rinse-repeat, turn a hook to roll the page
Ref stalls, opponent falls, strobe lights flood the stage
Roll to ten, count and spend, nothing goes unchanged
Two to one, sign and done, it’s all prearranged
