I'll make my way
in the gym.
I'll take my gains
there.
My lumps, learned, forcefully
learned.

Not many poets
in the gym.
Muscles and words,
mix much like
leg day and "everything" day.

Truth is,
the more I'm there,
the more I lift
and the larger my body parts get,

the more I lose the ability to write,
the desire to come here and
force words on a page.

I'm becoming a bodybuilder,
and I want to forget how
to put together a poem.

Apparently testosterone
is the key to simplicity.
