Short Cut

Short Cut

Many wear Lycra as clothing for sweaty display and for fashion
yet in this post-modern world I sport retro with ultimate passion

No need to retrieve my gear from nostalgic attics of long lost time
running for fitness and pleasure stems from old fashioned paradigm

Healthy mind in healthy body do not require micro fibre bubbles
no sports bra for man boobs no logos when jumping through puddles

‘Just do it’ I posit life is no stage no statement but rather for fun
my ragged torn shorts will suffice please admire my legs and my run

Ideally I wished to naturally perspire and perform in the nude
but I guess despite my glorious curves some might consider it rude

When exhaustion sets in and my muscles and mind are on fire
I settle for what’s in the dresser and not how some judge my attire

Darren White Date: 5/15/2017 1:28:00 AM I'd like to see you perform in the nude :) But I understand that not everyone appreciates that! Lovely poem that made me smile Kai.

Sounds wrong now, as it might allude to cocaine, but never have and never will. Many wishes, Kai

I am trying to get back into jogging. My manic marathon days are way over and now it is one step at a time. smoking three or four a day does not help, but the clothes are okay. Many wishes, Kai
