   my Nautilus* gym was one happy environ.

If driven to it, could I kill ?

Dear dumbbell,

I can remember the first time
I held you in my hands.
Two 5-pound weights - small, yes,

Sometimes caught in a jungle
Burdens and...

Crackling sparks flew in diatribe hatred,
  Jaw-snapping vitriol, hyena raised hackles,
Secure insecurity giggled inanely,
  Bared yellow-bone, fangs of jackals.
Mouth that yawns trapdoor premonitions,
  Pandora’s box fixed in cold shark eyes,
Releasing the bats,...

Afford me some time
To wail a little bit this morning
Give me a little while
To whine like a dumbbell.

Try to comprehend me a little
My friends, men weep too a bit
Men and women cry because of trouble

Not intellectual phrase
Not dumb
Eye of strength and conditioning of the human body
The motion of exercise
The lift intensified
Strengthening the mind in preparation with a pumping maneuver
Achieving results
Mind over matter
The hardness of muscle felt
Technique
Grip control
Focus of precise
