lost a fight today

by Charlie Morgan

we were paired unevenly;
she was a strong 3 going on 14,
i was 61 going on 91, c'mon!
my wit was wut.
her wonderfilled whys?
relentless.


today was a loss,
a no-win colum entry.
my niece, livy,
had more
whys?
than i had answers.

at the end
of the day,
i was splayed
on the carpet;
she stood triumphantly
wondering aloud?
'why'd Uncle Charlie fall?'
