Egghead

Last night lurked briefly
on a scale of one to ten.

Last evening the work-
out cycle seemed regular,

but now it is nothing but
full of the hurt runs and

a limp that causes the
splits. Maybe it was

just something stupid
to keep me from getting

up. To keep me from
walking. I tip my hat

to everything I pass
during today’s

never ending joy.
