DEFIANCE IS LIKE –

Defiance is like-

a grey hair in its lair,

whispering, “Whatcha gonna do?

I’m still here.”

You hid me, dyed me dry,

but I still stand tall.

Come at me again —

let’s see you try.

Years spent dodging your spears;

now we meet.

I’ll kick you, Athena,

in front of your peers.

(Halfway, the speaker realises: this wasn’t a poem about defiance. It was…)

— Grey Hair at WrestleMania, challenging Curio (the Flying Kick) Athena.

(Grey Hair, after winning the match)

“The flying kick landed — not on me but you.

Remember this: ‘I can knock you at a party / By just showing up there.’”

-Curio Athena
