1
Howard, the strangest things
2
have happened lately when I
3
take a good swing
4
and all my dreams
5
they pivot and slip.
6
I drop my fists
7
and they're back, laughing.
8
Howard, my intentions
9
become not to lose what I've won.
10
Ambition has given way
11
to desperation and I,
12
I've lost the fight from my eyes.
13
Boxing's been good to me, Howard.
14
Now I'm told,
15
"You're growing old."
16
The whole time we knew
17
a couple of years I'd be through.
18
Has boxing been good to you?
19
Howard, now I confess
20
I'm scared and lonely and tired.
21
Everyone says I'm made of clay,
22
that I've had my day,
23
that I'm not cut out for this.
24
I just know what to say.
25
And I say,
26
boxing's been good to me, Howard.
27
Now I'm told,
28
"You're growing old."
29
The whole time we knew
30
a couple of years I'd be through.
31
Has boxing been good to you?
32
Well, sometimes I punch myself
33
hard as I can.
34
Yelling, "nobody cares!"
35
hoping someone will tell me how wrong I am,
36
Howard.
37
Boxing's been good to me, Howard.
38
Now I'm told,
39
"You're growing old."
40
The whole time we knew
41
a couple of years I'd be through.
42
Has boxing been good,
43
has boxing been good,
44
has boxing been good?
