Race

I'm the sperm that swam past and beat millions,

Embraced a solitary egg 

Which coldly embraced me back.

I remember , oh I remember

Each that lost gave me a look of looks

Before perishing one by one

Before my chivalrous eyes.

It was some forty years ago.

Yes, four decades before realization came

It was a treacherous race

Meant to pick the unluckiest
