The second degree

He looked back, then.

As he was following me.

The young black boy was lifted,

for more than once.

I bowed my head,

left side, a bit.

I, who do not touch,

made a new degree,

to the small black no(u)se.

I put him, back slowly.

I was the one, who started

to talk, about skin.

He smiled,

in the same way

I reflected about my coach,

the best trainer.

And after that,

he made one victory!
