First
it makes no sense
to me
but the match started at 3 a.m.

The weigh-in
was
ridiculous
with Time being 
too ethereal
(they said)
for 
the scale

"In this cornerrrrrrrrr,
weighing in at 170
pounds,
height average,
blue trunks.
from anywhere on earth
the Every
'I Have Had Enough'...
Man.
Every Mannnnnn!!!"




And in this corner,
at
an indeterminate height,
no apparent weight,
in the infinity trunks,
Time 'Is On My Side'...
Timmmmmmmeeeee!!!!!"



It was so
hard
to grapple
with him
or
her
or it

I threw punches
that seemed
to land
but then
BAM!
Out of nowhere
Time
connected
and
I was 
limping

Oh,
but
I
rallied,
scored a bunch of 
points 
and
then
KABOOM!

Cancer

In the ninth round
Time 
even
began taunting me:
"You mortal!
I'm ticking!
It's inevitable!"

But, 
but,
then
I
realized
best
to tune all that 
out
Best
to
laugh
and
have faith

Best
to
deny
mortality,
best
to
punch back
and punch back
and punch back
and punch back



Oh baby
I have Time on
the ropes

The Referee was
checking
to see if
Time
was 
disoriented

The match is called!

T K O!

Time is knocked out!

Time has been splattered!



I was ecstatic
elated
relieved
rejuvenated

Except...
oh no.

Oh no.
I sat up
in bed...
"That was a helleva dream!"

It was 3:05 a.m.
and 
very 
quiet

I saw the moon 
just staring at me
