The Weight of Time

If I could go back, I’d return to the quiet moment I told myself I have time.
I’d kill that thought entirely,
remind myself that now is the youngest I will ever be.
That lie has sat on my chest like a dumbbell for years—
too heavy to lift, too late to drop—
and all I can do now is push through the weight
of the mistake that reshaped me.


A Day At the Gym

Dumbbell, dumbbell
                             Arc and drop
Clanging bell
                       Of start and stop

Stretch 
          Flex
                Bow and weave
Wretch
          Sex
               Split and cleave
Pump 
                               Push
Perfect tush
                 Jump
                             Rump
Clang and thump

Peace of Mind

I was there before the burying
I was there before I lost my way
Peace laid there like “dude,
You traded me for questions
And not many people find me again
So can I give you a suggestion?”
Ripped my heart open and
And Took out a twenty pound dumbbell like
If you seek then you shall find
If you absolutely don’t look behind
Here I am! 
You can see my toe sticking out like:
What I buried was peace of mind

The Yard Boy

Dumbbell lifts up and down
weight watcher clown

preens like a blow hard
pacing the yard.

Wearing a white face
with money and place

a sense of entitlement
all the way to hell sent.

Doing the dime
with no fear of the time.

Superior skin
took a left to the chin,

now the cock of the walk
can't even talk.

Supreme courts of justice
may take care of us,

animals in this zoo
will take care of you.

Premium Member Oceanic Encounters of a Pinching Kind

Swimming in the ocean
       a wincing couple pinches
     Little creature on my leg
       not more than six or seven inches
  
     I looked again, to my surprise
       Hello! - a trilobite!
     Two pincers jutting from its head
       tiny, fearsome sight

     I scolded it: 'You are extinct'
       'Now go away and I won't tell
     You'll get to live another day.' 

     He stayed... So, I swatted him
       to prehistoric hell ~
