Total darkness
A switch is flipped Fluorescent lights flicker to life The hum is the only sound in the room Another year without the cup Another year without the Bojo Another year of not being good enough Train harder No music It’s a distraction You can’t afford any more distractions, old man Train harder You biked here in the faint light of pre dawn Get down to business ASAP Set up the weights You weren’t strong enough These kids are only going to get stronger Do you want to get dropped by an 18 year old? Train harder Best season of your career and what do you have to show for it? A body that is more bruised than not from blocking 165 of the hardest damn shots in the world Cracked ribs, separated shoulders, and bad knees from throwing 164 hits How much longer do you think you can keep that up? Train harder The trainer walks in the door still nursing their coffee trying to shake the cobwebs loose No time to chit chat Give them a nod and throw more weight on Crush the last set and jump on the bike Your muscles are screaming but you aren’t listening Time to watch tape Every single team How did they best you? How can you stop them this year? Train harder Time to hit the ice Weighted vest and suicided to start You can’t afford to get any slower How much air can those lungs hold these days? Edgework It needs to be on point for the opener Weighted stick Clap bombs until your arms go numb Make passes until every last one of them is tape to tape The rest of the team is arriving now Time for round two Do that C on your chest justice Train harder (302 words) |
