RINGSIDE

Gregory Liffick

Boxed into an
ugly corner of words,
poetry comes out
swinging with beauty.
Counter punching
from the tongue
with jabs of wit
and toothy hooks.
Rhythmic smacks
to opposing mouths.
The square circle
of the weekend
open mike night.
Verse doesn’t
fight dirty.
But it won’t
sit still either,
for any spoken
fat lip.
