intellectual workout

by Jared Fladeland

the days grow colder

mixed angels sing a lullaby

i cannot get enough of the wind
breathing across my chapped lips.

fitness grows on devil wings
the work justifies the end
i cannot concentrate on twenty-three things at once
so i'm forced to grow and grow and grow.

I hate to disagree with Chris, whose poetry I love, but I think that the choppiness of the poem is lyrical and illustrates the "cannot concentrate" to a t. But then, I'm scattered when I cannot concentrate. ;) I love this.
