Professor Moore

by Tom Smario

You have to envy

the easy confidence

of a professor who taught

discipline, longevity

and the art of the knockout.

Standards by which the poetry

of pugilism are judged were set

by the way Archie fought, and the

way he fought is the way he lives.

"How do I stay so young at heart?"

he says, pointing to his head.

"I exercise this."
