Cable is the greatest thing

I get to watch wrestling

all the time now

Wrestling is

almost an art form

if you consider

surrealism and dada

they said the ultimate

act of surrealism

would be to randomly

open fire in a crowd.

the choreographed violence

of wrestling

is like

a ballet of the absurd

love & hate & jealousy

& the desire to excel

meet in the madness

of the squared circle

the careful tones

of the orchestra

set a hush over the crowd

It is a primal feud

of medieval proportions

the giant warriors meet

in the middle of the ring;

a frenzied crowd screams

for a bloodbath

of Roman proportion

The savage fury

of Picasso’s cubism

is boldly reflected

in the battle of the ring

as chairs are swung

and a pencil becomes

a bloodletting weapon

instead of a tool

for artist and poet

the ultimate battlefield

for the surrealistic eye

It always adds up

2+2+5

which is all it is

and all we could

really hope

for it to be
