They were in disagreement about the basketball foul line.
Soon yelling and screaming, boys numbering eight or nine.
Some of them ran off, but two became rebelliously loud. 
Sportsmanship tested, said their fathers, feeling proud....

He accidentally
Punch the referee
He bowed down to her level
And apologized his mistakes
He completely withdraw 
The physicality of the moment
Brought his anger to zero
And concerted it to humility
Changed his face, bowed his head
And made himself smaller and shorter than her....

Soldiers fear Warship, 
Labourers hardship,
Demons fellowship, 
Tribes citizenship,
Chaos leadership
Thugs Governorship
Loners long friendship
Fat Guys sportsmanship
Backbenchers headship
Men secretaryship:
Another man's Worship...

Fear is a spread thing
Mine fails not to ring....

Cat on a Hot Tin Roof 



 I felt my finger nails digging into his back 
What an intensified sexual moment 
I never knew that tears could roll 
Down the cheeks of a robust man 

he wept! he sigh! he came 
Again, and again and again 
was it a sportsmanship or 
an injury cat on a Hot Tin Roof?...

An innocent game of release
                    made dirty by a devious trick
                                             devised by Sean’s older brother, Brandon.
                        “Guys, we give up!”
                            he yelled.
            The treeline bustled with life
as kids emerged from the woods;
Cubscouts crawled from the underbrush--
“Just kidding!”
            he added as he tagged
the bewildered players
against their protests....

It is not a conversation you overhear,
Like the questions rolling underfoot,
"Who goes there?".
You can see the grass has told
How tall to grow
To the chicory, dandelions and clover.
At the edge of the pitch
Where competition is stiff,
They grow bigger, taller and bolder;
Yet in each new match, every plant,
Agrees to a height and no taller.

Till in the next field over, where it's wild and fallowed,
It's to the death, all bets are off, and no foul.
