On the Teaching of the Darce choke from Back Mount

let me mount your back, dear sir, and allow

this moment of aggressive cuddles end

the arm beneath your own will take a bow

and open up your collar. I will send

my over-shoulder hand, thump in, to gap

the notch twixt thumb and wrist against your vein

then grip and pull the collar tight and snap

my underhand into the air to gain,

the tighter grip across your neck, the back

to snake in tight as light to rear of head

I'll lean away extending arms, attack

a Darce choke from the back mount here. You're dead-

 asleep now for a little while, so dream

 of all the moves you wish you had foreseen.
