I used to be thunderous
In all ears and a roar
But now I'm like lighting instead
And when I strike
There is only a sudden flash of light
As a stroke of fire appears before
Instantly born
Where the static clouds meet the metal earth
I am timing incumbet, electric incarnate
And as my will touches down
My foes are torn
I mean, I'm still loud some days. But I'm older now, a little wiser, and I've learned how to pick my moments of  exertion.

I admire her
for her amazing passion
of the sport
keeping her playing
despite
being the only junior on JV
all the others
quit
when they didn't make
varsity
her asthma
a constant issue

I admire her
for being the slowest
yet,
continuing to play
multiple
running sports
Always struggling
always coming dead last
never getting played
yet sticking to the game

These couple people
and more
keep playing
because,
they love the sport
they need exercise
some other reason

I was one of them
...
nonathletic
...
Five years of basket ball
scoring my first goal
in my fifth year
...
So what did I do?
I didn't work hard at getting better
I didn't outright give up sports,
either

...
...
...
I,
became a
goalie
;)
That at the end is supposed to be a sideways wink by the way, in case you didn't get that.

He was a good runner;
And one hell of a stunner;
Your stop-glass picture for a lightning vision;
And a start-pass winner, a stunting gold finisher;
A heart cold hunter, he was my knock-out hitter;
He was a K.O. Rider--
He was a collider: on one collect collision course;
Of course, the beginning was when it began:
Between the specific sheet of force
With a good measure...
Had me landing on all fours,
Reveling in it again;
To rev up was the plan.
I want to experience kabe don one day!
