Roller Derby Poem by Raj Dronamraju

Roller Derby



Poster dream fragments of Big Bertha
Massive arm extended, over the railing, landing flat on her back on the first row of folding chairs

Eating Chinese food on a Saturday morning
Waiting for Scooby Doo to start
You should wear a helmet everywhere you go

Long to see Lucy who is more than six feet tall
Frizzy hair in fistful batches
She locks arms with teammates to clothesline a foe

It's your league of loyalty, your jammers remaining on track
That jams a pistol into the opposition
Watching the collision of large women in the 1970's
