1970's edited version

Neutral position,

Penetration move,

Feet, spread apart, turned

Out, flat against mat.


Right foot forward, placed

Between opponent's,

Left foot back, knee bent,

Head, slightly downward.


Chest, lowered over

Knees, hips tilted, arms, 

Pressed against side, hands

Extended outward.



Varsity wrestlers

Corralled in upstairs

Locker room, single

File line faced toward scale.


From behind, Tom saw

Boys down to white briefs

Who looked straight ahead,

Around, down at feet.


Coach stood by scale in

Sideview, each wrestler 

Dropped his briefs, swung to

Step on scale, turned back.



James placed in bottom

Position, on hands

And knees, coach took top,

Crouched down by his side.


Coach extended his

Arm across James's

Waist, both hands grabbed wrist,

Pulled arm up, plowed down.


James's t-shirt pulled

Out from sweatpants, three

Inches of jockstrap

Waistband, back, exposed,



Locker combos spun,

Sweaty practice shirts,

Sweatpants, jockstraps, socks,

Stripped off, briefs pulled on.


Jake joined the other

Closely packed bodies,

Tried to ignore the

Unavoidable.


Reached scale, tugged briefs off,

A semi popped out

At eye level of 

Recording student.

Boys spread out on clean, Bathroom floor, turned to Face walls, bent over, Untied their shoes, stood. Unbuttoned dress shirts Which they draped on shoes, Followed by t-shirts, Grabbed gym shirts off floor. Unbuckled, unzipped Their pants, let them fall, Pulled on their gym shorts, Stepped into sneakers. Ed had two sons in High school, year apart, Commuted to work, Back late, wife deceased. Gave them free run of House lower level, Bedrooms, bathroom, den, Side door to outside. Encouraged his boys  To be men, play sports, Proud of their bodies At paired physicals. Tom and Jim, not close Friends- bored- took a dare: Round of strip poker While parents away. Sat opposite, cards Shuffled, laid face-down, Cards ...
