Something About Exercise


I look at it this way,
had I not been
burdened and disabled
with stiff and
arthritic hips
relegated to begin
my days with poetry
to write, I may be
compelled to run
around the block
instead as a
fitful exercise.
And with each step
I would surely sweat
with a pounding regret,
leaving my thoughtful
word and metered verse
unaccounted for
and lost in a cloud
of dust trailing far behind.
