I think about one on one, not meaning
pick-up basketball but one dog after a
coyote, one javalina sow after a pit

bull, one toy poodle after a horse, one
gang after another gang, one culture after
another culture, one race after another

race, one nation after another nation,
one world after another world, one cosmos
after another cosmos, one universe after

another universe, one fox in the hen-house,
one wolf in the pasture, one rattlesnake
in the grass, one fly on the wall privy to

the shouting of one man after one woman,
one woman after one man, one kid cowering
in a corner hugging one teddy bear.
