Luminous Luciano Salutes... Luminous Lucian - The Boxer!
THE LOWDOWN
ON LUCIAN BUTÉ:
(before the smackdown?)
20-0-0 since the year 2000
(does it bring a bad omen now -
all his numbers will begin popping up
in the last two columns now...?)
16 K.O.s
(talk about sweet sixteen!)
-Romanian born
-Canadian immigrant
-reigning world champion
in his class
(his most recent bout -
and 20th career victory
as a pro - garnered him
that dubious title
and championship belt)
-quickly adopted by new town
(Montreal) due to his success
(that town's desperate
for a winner!)
-applauded by *moi*
due to his luminous boxing
and likeness too!
(Buté is indeed "futé" -
he does not waste his
offensive moves -
his blows are aimed
to score points
with the judges
not hurt or injure
his opponent -
and he does
a mean footwork
avoiding too many shots
to his ol' mugger!
All-around luminescence
even in pugilism...!
Rocky would be proud -
Marciano, not Balboa!)
A luminous boxer -
indeed!
As luminous in his art
as I am in mine...!
