boxer having a nightmare


The Feather Weight Boxer

The featherweight boxer woke up
having a nightmare. he woke up
throwing punches.
Only his imaginary opponent felt
the impact of his blows.
Fighting an imaginary opponent strongly
fighting back!
His confidence building strength!
His fist of fury
pounding the daylight
out of his imaginary foe.
He could not speak because no words
would form upon his lips
He could not think because no thoughts
would form in his head.
He was trembling with so
much strength!
A strength his body could not contain.
A strength overpowering it
and making it do its will!
