Sore shoulders and weak knees, my body is trying to tell me something. Lactic acid is building up in my muscles, settling in my bones: the end to the cycle. Tomorrow will begin a theater of interactions that matter, I should take a lesson in concentration. This isn't what I want, I yearn for the aches, I love the uncomfort. Busy work makes me dismissive, and the people don't help either. Smooth-brained and simple minded, it's just a future version of what could become of me. An inch lift under foot is enough to ignite my intuition. A weaker version of myself negotiates with my newly forming self: offering dull reward and a safe spot reserved for my passive pleasure. Real life low lives are enough to show me what I want. Sore shoulders and weak knees, they beg me to stop. But I didn't ask their opinion.

Sore Shoulders and Weak Knees
Sore shoulders and weak knees, my body is trying to tell me something. Lactic acid is building up in my muscles, settling in my bones: the end to the cycle. Tomorrow will begin a theater of interactions that matter, I should take a lesson in concentration. This isn't what I want, I yearn for the aches, I love the uncomfort. Busy work makes me dismissive, and the people don't help either. Smooth-brained and simple minded, it's just a future version of what could become of me. An inch lift under foot is enough to ignite my intuition. A weaker version of myself negotiates with my newly forming self: offering dull reward and a safe spot reserved for my passive pleasure. Real life low lives are enough to show me what I want. Sore shoulders and weak knees, they beg me to stop. But I didn't ask their opinion.
