One last time for charity
I unearthed the bag from its basement tomb,
broke the corroded zip to a puff of Wintergreen
and musty dried mud.
The boots fit as did the kit, where I could fold into it,
the nylon stretched out thin over bad food choices.
I had become the fat bloke relegated to defense.
Heavy strapping, Two Paracetamol and two Ibuprofen,
a desert storm cocktail of youth, sanctioned by the government,
yet I still asked my knees if we would return from the mission.
As I stepped out of the cold damp changing room
to the clatter of screw in studs on concrete,
I could feel the armies rising in the north.
Facing my opponent in the center circle
I took his hand and whispered.
"I will have my vengeance in this life or the next."
