When it's time to fly home for the Pegasus Kid
Sometimes part of the night follows him in
Night from whence blood rains to mix
With pharmaceuticals and tears of Narcissists
Chanting a hymn, desperate to memorize
A prayer for heroes gone unrecognized
Eyes sinking South, neck bending East,
Canadian Crippler, Rabid Wolverine
Submission maneuver in a final grudge match
Unhinged hips, slipped discs rattle in his back
Even Gods must pay to soar without limits
A heavy price to cast one’s lot in this business
Hingeless hips!
