When I was driven to compete and test my mettle
I learned a word.
The old man withe the gravely growl. A wise and bedreggled owl.
His eyes bored in as he did impart. The art.
The beauty. You gotta be clutch son.you gotta deliver.
Clutch.
A state of zen.
Conquer the moment
Again and again.
Jockspeak I know BUT analagous to living.
Condensed.The now is all we truely have.
Runners high in the blink of an eye.
Pure pleasure to live the moment.
Unbridled.
Making love. Fucking.screwing. you pick.
For me relaxed concentration. A zen state.
Pure harmony? That special union. A once a lifetime.
Once. And only once.
Clutch happenstance.
Same,same.
Grinding gears? Can't mesh.
Slack tide....suspension. joy or pain?
I learned it became addicted to it
Sheer confidence that I will overconquer
The moment.
Then I lost it and came crashing down.
I was human after all.
But such is the human design.
Soar high and long.
Ignore the siren song.
The moment is all there is.
