My stab at enthropoetics, using excerpts from my interview with rugby player John St. John:

"I mean, it was just craziness
I didn't know what was going on
I was just running forward
A lot of my first games were like that."

"It's demanding
It's eighty minutes, it's nonstop, and you're just going full blast
There's only fifteen players and we only have like two or three subs
When something hurts, sometimes you just gotta fight through it."

"I mean, it's a very physical game
Coaches demand a lot from you
Your team demands a lot from you
But it's a brotherhood."

"It's hard work
I sorta like to think of it as a challenge
But, I mean, it's good work
It builds character."
