thirty - three - three

thirty - three - three
(bourdain told me so)
2026.05.

thirty feet
three feet
three inches

russell chatham described viewing a work of art that way
that's a perfect description for wrestling

thirty feet
before the match starts
getting ready
sizing up your opponent

three feet
the separation on the mat
before the whistle blows
and when it does 

three inches and it's go

as chatham said
that's where character
reveals itself

bourdain told me so
