ali vs. liston

baby i’m so fucking tired
of promoting this fight

but you don’t know how to take the gloves off

so this morning
i’ll be a snarling muhammad ali
arms spread wide hovering over
your supine sonny liston

in my black bra
panties
white tank top and amber necklace

before putting the rest of my day on

i noticed my arms are ripped
from lifting children

yeah, buddy
ready to box

i am the louisville lip

and in my eyes resides
victory
and notions
of kicking you to death
