Until You Box

One question that's hard to answer in a quiz Many never realize how long a minute truly is, How long it takes for 60 seconds to tic on a clock And how many times you punch and/ or block. How slow those minutes are in the past How many times those seconds are not fast, And sometimes a minute it seemingly lasts forever Especially on a hard sought desire and endeavor. You dance and you move and you retreat in a minute Sometimes you feel as you are in senate, Then within that time you will either win or lose And that decision someone else will choose. Minutes sometimes seems like a lifetime When into the ring you climb, No one knows how long a minute lasts on the clocks Until they first box. Randy L. McClave
