The Hungry
Sweat dripping
heavy breathing
tension in the air.
Rivals screaming
spectators witnessing
only the rare.
Inspiration steaming
effortlessly rising
towards the thirsty.
While they sit,
hungry for the risky,
waiting for the winning.
Then the two start
once again
on a mission.
Yet there is more
lingering in the atmosphere
slowly coming to fruition.
There it is
fighting between the two
with no completion.
While the witnessing,
not knowing
they desired competition.
It was there
all along
bigger than the small picture.
It was becoming clearer,
to the sitting,
that it was worth their admission.
Motivation and inspiration
was why they came
but the main course was competition.
They were always hungry
thirsty for an unknown solution
to fuel their ambition.
Now they rested,
visitors satisfied and full,
until it started all over again.
