50lbs of Blonde Fury
the disinfectant is drying on resolite mats
as he laces his tiger split sole shoes
the room is near 100 degrees
and soon everyone will be sweating into their eyes
in this room his brothers learned pride
tempered by humility, respect
repetition
repetition
the drills are the same they were
all those years ago for me too
jumping jacks, running, sprouls,
sit-thoughs, stand-ups
but their moves are 'the whammer', 'double-leg', 'the stack'
I knew 'the pancake', 'the tilt' 'the spladel'
it's funny how moves come into fashion
like clothes do
we're down on the mat together, warming up
me and my boys
it's gonna be a good year....
