lasting fight

life moves easy on tem
the fighting style simple
tem lowers the bar
life makes a try for the jaw
tem moves backwards
falls into the ropes
life doesn't take advantage
in fourth round - a cut over the eye
makes tem the slower guy
he adjusts the defense
more careful attacks
less risky jabs
in the seventh round
tem does a cross
life does not seem touched at all
continues relentlessly
to make small flurries
for the last four rounds
the match moves one gear low
both only landing small blows
and it seems they both happily
await the finishing signal
life to win over tem
on points no knockdown
