we are always being pushed and squeezed down one road or another . they found me lying on the grass , and i had no speech for many hours . yet , it was always good form to place a shine on the spokes of one 's transport . she scowled at jack in his usual place on the couch . i hop on my bike and pedal home , pissed at myself for letting him go down my pants . no one watching was allowed to touch the fighters , and certainly not to enter the ring .
