(New) Book Seven

From 

Tie-up,

Hands grab his 

Arms, duck under

His right, hook left arm

Under his left armpit,

Move behind him, both arms hooked.


Blood 

Fed dead,

Elpenor

Begged, prophet spoke:

Foretold choices, fates;

Odysseus engaged 

Mother, spoke to Greek heroes.


Pre-

Worn, team

Singlets piled

Near lockers, size 

Marked intermingled,

Old names masking taped, stretched

To conform to their wearers.


From

Tie-up,

On his right 

Side, left hand slides

Around his torso,

Right hand hooks left side of 

His neck, propel him forward.


Asked,

Circe

Spelled out crew's 

Trials: ears plugged past

Sirens' rocks; men lost

To Scylla's heads; avoid

Charybdis' sucking whirlpool.


Your 

Wrestling 

Physical,

Lined up, doctor 

Took vital signs, HEENT 

Assessments while seated,

Abdomen check recumbent.


Step

Between 

Opponent's 

Legs, with arms locked

Around his armpits,

Squat, arch back, lift him, throw 

Him forward falling backwards.


Crew

Sheltered

Inside cave,

Although oath sworn,

When food ran out, they 

Slew god's cattle, Zeus sent 

Winds, ship smashed, men drowned, course lost.


One

Doctor 

Sat behind 

Screens, testicles 

Groped, penis measured,

Anus fingered while you

Bent over, grabbing ankles.


In

Neutral,

Drop level,

Head butt, both hands

Grab back of his neck,

Step around to force head

Toward mat, chest on back of head. 


Swift

Rowers,

Phaeacians

Reached Ithaca,

Odysseus left

Asleep with his treasures,

Then Poseidon punished them.


You 

Yanked used

Singlet straps

Up to shoulders,

Butt cheeks forced apart,

Chest, thighs pressured, penis

Outlined clearly, pointing up, 


In

Neutral,

Drop level,

Keep legs back to 

Avoid opponent's 

Leg grabs, reach across, push

Hands down on his upper back.


As

Mist swirled,

Athena 

Hid treasures, then

Plotted his revenge

Against suitors, disguised 

Odysseus as beggar.


Your

Partner's

Body morphed

In his singlet

To straps of muscles

Draped around solid frame,

An intimidating sight.


Coin

Flip choice 

Factors risk:

Opponent's skills;

His physical size;

Current score; minutes left;

Anything shouted by coach.


Guard

Dogs snarled,

Swine herd chased

Them, prepared food 

For his unknown guest,

Bemoaned absence of his

Master whom he assumed dead.


You

Circled

Opponent,

Reached hands across,

Tapped on his head while 

Keeping legs back, feigned a

Drop to see his reaction.
