Faces in the ring

One did not know the faces enough.
Faces look alike in Vietnam jungles.

They would box pale moon shadows
As the wolves howled in their nights.

Songs sounded eerie on pulp faces.
He preferred known faces in a ring.

(Legendary boxer Mohamad Ali who passed away a few years ago had refused to be involved with the Vietnam war saying “Sorry I have nothing against the Viet Kong”
