the coach's speech

sometimes I help too much
in the hope that I am modeling
at other times I help too little
inferring that you are lazy
I nudge - you choose - I root - you wait
you seize - I urge - you clinch - I pitch
I prod - you clasp - I cheer - you snatch
you slump - I goad - I lurch - you reel
on occasions I refuse to help
trusting you will wake up soon
on the grounds that sooner than later
the ball is in your court
ouch!
