Thai-fighter

I walk down streets
with names I can't pronounce
past fat men
with young girls

"You fucking lazy
worthless
piece of shit"
I hear one shout

She's half his age
with twice his tears

I could break his face
but don't

I walk on

Swallowing the sadness
while loneliness consumes me

My crippled heart lingers on
though I know

Nobody wants an old fighter
anymore
