I want to be the poetry champion of the world
winning all my bouts by way of knock-out.
I want to be a second Dan black-belt in poetry
with stanzas that can break wooden boards.
I want my poetry to win the Super Bowl, the World Series
and World Cup, scoring touch-downs, home-runs and hat-tricks.
I want my poetry to climb the highest peaks of Mount Everest
and then sail around the world single-handedly.
Actually, I\'d be happy if I managed to write a poem every now and then
and if anyone actually read it.
