ROW
"Row" they said
"easy" they said
no running, no jumping, no ability required
"row" they scream
"harder" they scream
oars whipping, boat creaking, water racing.
"Power ten" coxswain yells
"Bow ball" coxswain yells
lungs busting, heart pumping, legs burning.
Photo finish
Finish line
backwards, exhausted, exhilarated
Now DO IT ALL AGAIN.
