an ode to Rafael Nadal

dressed in neon colors
with the air of a surfer
and the stamina of a cheetah,
on the court
he's really most like a machine:

powerful precise serves
leading to powerful precise shots,
never seeming to tire or fade

They wave the Spanish flag
and yell "VAMOS RAFA!,"
and the ripped machine rolls on
