puches, futile
kicks, useless
the grapple, near suicidal

Index finger pointed at the sky,
the rest curled back.

blocks, weak
parries, inadequete
weapons, unreachable
technique, unlearnable

a new type of frustration manifests itself

arms, broken
veins, ruptured
ribs, cracked
liver, bleeding

the opponent laughs as
my life force
seeps into the gutter

Wow. This was very interestingly formatted and worded. I really like the idea behind it and the way you express it.  Very powerful. Great work!  
Much Love

thanks,
I wrote this to comemerate
my rejection from a kung fu school in chinatown, that I wanted to attend.
As I was writing this, I recalled the last time I was beaten up (it's been a while)

Jose~~~Why would a school reject you???Where are you from anyways???

the opponent laughs as
my life force
seeps into the gutter

Such a choice of words...Nice work!!!

So yea, i thought it was very original and cool.



I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.
