sometimes it isn’t the punch
or the impact of their fist
it is in your gut reaction
it is your instinctive set
of reflexes that it evoked
that’s what really matters

see how the punchline feels
maybe they’re trying to see
which way you sway when you
reel
when you really reel
when you really really reel
