Sport 43: 2015
aye ready ready
aye ready ready
inside the diorama
Scott exchanges the din
of the world for man-hauling
though his plaster-of-Paris
voluntary muscles
are uncooperative
though his tiny plasticine boots
sleep in thick white paint
and his mind is tethered
to pipe-cleaners he seems
to go forward on feet
that never yield
not even when his ponies
perish and his dogs
disappear like tricks
not even when his sledge
as heavy as ever
decides to stand very still
