slimy smelly kids

I think
about all the classes
in high school
that seemed unnecessary
at the time.
economics
and biology, social science,
wrestling.
do we really need
to be wrestling
other children in the middle
of the day
in tight blue
shorts
and t shirts?
i'm glad now about taking
the other classes
the osmosis of learning
did set in,
but not wrestling
or bounding over
the pummel horse, or dodge
ball where only
the strong survived
ala
Lord of the Flies.
