Man, box over head and cornered.


Boxed

Boxed into a corner,
without escape,
arguments defeated,
but now retreated
to a position,
if not impregnable,
at least blind to nemesis.

Offshore stack or tower of rock separate from the mainland.


Stack

Geographers call it a stack.
for stacked it is,
layer upon layer,
stratum upon strata,
nibbled by wind and waves,
banished from the shore,
proud and aloof,
displaying its nakedness.
