Thoughtless

The Service

The service begins.

Roar of the crowd, braggadocio of the actors.

Pain from those body slams, a broken wrist.

The faces contorted, contestants holding wrists,

favored a leg and crying out.

An effort with the legs kicking out and surprised

grimace on the contender.

The final blow, a three count.

The crowd chants.

The king retains the crown.

The service is over.
