I Cannot Weight To Hmm...

To Be Pressed By A Dumbbell

Two fifteen pound

steely danse sing

wrought iron dumbbells

ill-tempered, impatiently,

and intensely a weight

their turn to hmm... press me,

and forthwith dense trait

heavy handed prestidigitation

 

to yours truly, this primate

currently attempting

to craft sad excuse

for a poem, sans far fetched

notion, aye trite re: late

engendering, foisting, and goading

bizarre lifelike qualities

to inanimate solid helpmate

 

to build (and/or oven

just tone) muscles bitterly, painfully,

resignedly wince, where washboard

abdomen long a goner

impossible to recoup,

whar hide didst narrate

ting hours sculpting great

former Adonis build

 

on these, now nada so lovely

bones, and experience

spiritual strife to oscillate,

perhaps witness sing

angst to esse skill late

heady feeling healthy vim within

myself, how just

with verily at least dedicate

 

half hour exercise can be great

for body, mind, and

soul triage, otherwise...

basic gravitational laws

of physics gladly

hand me unwanted fate,

how gradually physique

will eventually demonstrate

 

flabby, droopy, and

unwanted addy post tissue create

ting another reason to berate,

castigate, emasculate, where

self repudiation will germinate

(albeit, thence in extremis), yours truly

doth relinquish fitness regime

resulting sparking, and taste

 

testing casus belli dictate

tête-à-tête, viz hasty

unconditional surrender to

a void mortal kombat,

which latter, would exterminate,

the forces of yin and yang,

re: lee (I rub hurts) loch cur,

thence finding me fraught,

 

(yule hiss see - uselessly)

grant ting soul

option to disintegrate,

in the event emotional civil war,

rents asunder every fiber

of mine being, which

wrath wracked wraith self destruction

twill woefully satiate.
