Romeo Naces Poet Terza Rima

The Best At His Worst

.

The shrewder one 
  may yet triumph 
       tonight

in this maddening 
      heat of the
       prizefight

where ferocity reigns 
       and might 
         is right.


                        Here the last 
                     can still  outlast 
                            the first,

                    for even the best 
                        can be at his
                             worst,

                   either way it goes,  
                      egos burn and
                             burst.


Victor and vanquished 
          will stay
      remorseless.

They'll fight again till 
     they'll be both
          lifeless.

For to fight and win 
   is an unfinished
        business!
