remember to watch for his hook
baudelaire cornered layton at the end of the sixth round
beating him in such a fashion as to bring foreman back to the ring
and in his frazier - like reply layton spat blood and punches
and jewish shadow boxing romantic promises
sitting ringside close to a neutral comer
i had good chance to see close up
and the spray of sweat
blood and cut closing medicine is still on my shirt
i wear it like a badge of honour
unfortunately i haven't the balls to box
