The Pit

Two bit
Tackle kit.
Honor why,
What, where.

How's it feel
Over there?
Orange, rough,
Bony, tough.

Under average.
Over age.
Dirty cabbage.
Shake the cage.

Off the stage,
Into the crowd.
No one hears you
Gasp out loud.

Feeding frenzy.
Fish ball bait.
Boots and stomp.
Storm down the gate.

Pick a winner.
Pickerel dinner.
Silver flashes,
Glinting passes,

Roiling masses
See an enemy.
Boiling gases,
Pop in front of me.

Moving faster.
Churning heat.
Effervescent
In defeat.

See you later
Down the street.
Seven fifty,
All you can eat.
