Engagements


If pools are
Speed dates
Blurred with first impressions
Sound bites, smooth lines
Snap judgments
Eenie Meenie
Moe

DEs are the second date, and third
Trapped together long enough to
Flaunt a broader repertoire
Scout habits, reflex, preferences
Test compatibility

Often it is touch for touch
4-5, 8-6, 9-8
Until at last, one fencer or the other
Penetrates the masquerade and
Pulls ahead to finish 15-9
Or 10

Nine minutes is enough to
Court
Commit
Break up
