Alex (An Ideal)

Dear Alex,

“I couldn’t stay there.

I just couldn’t do it, today.

The worst part is that this concussion has knocked me back hard.

I keep getting up, determined to keep rallying.

But my face and body are swollen as I sway blearily like a hard-core prize fighter getting dizzy.

There’s no clear sight…

Just instinct’s adjusting memory of where I need to be aiming.”
