                                                         The Counter Boxer

​

I've always been a counter-boxer.  When I wrestled my best work was from the disadvantage.  In hockey I was the goalie and in cowboys and Indians always the Indian.  In one boxing match my opponent was twenty feet taller and lived in a different but overlapping universe.  He kicked the shit out of me ... and ever since I've been bobbing and weaving in and out of relationships like a boxer with bad timing and short reach ... destined to lose.
