Hearns

Let's workshop this poem about the implications of boxer getting hit with a powerful left hook.

Hearns

A left hook
had his opponent
wavy in his vision
for the first time, 
his heart
thumping in his ears—
and that was his
undoing: he knew
now, in addition
to that he could be
shaken, how
he had been shaking
others all these years.
