I'm Walking Very Slowly

        on this Treadmill

            for an Hour

 

I’m walking

very slowly

on this treadmill

for an hour

gawking into mirrors,

then I’m off to take a shower,

plastic peggy in half my ears

and smart phone in my hand,

jogging panty tight and sheer

and head half full with sand.

I’m walking

very slowly

on this treadmill

for an hour.

 

Still walking

very slowly

on this barely

moving strap,

arse cheeks barely moving,

then I’m off to eat some crap,

working world around my spins

and smart phone in my hand,

bring me burger with a grin

and head half full with sand.

Still walking

very slowly

on this barely

moving strap.

 

Not running

very quickly

on this slightly

crawling belt,

the sweat that didn’t drip

and the heat that wasn’t felt,

beer and cocktail what was drunk

with smartphone in my hand,

the jagerbombers what was sunk

and head half full with sand.

Not running

very quickly

on this slightly

crawling belt.

 

Strapped chest

must not joggle

on this treadmill

for an hour,

something come up from inside,

my rough tongue’s tasting sour.

Tossing a show ponytail

with smart phone in my hand,

more inhale and less exhale

and head half full with sand.

Trapped thighs

must not wiggle

on this treadmill

for an hour.

 

Finished walking

very slowly

on this treadmill

till tomorrow,

tell me that it keeps me fit

and that’s the shit I’ll swallow.

Sit behind a teacher’s desk;

with smart phone in my hand,

lay weary head down to rest,

and fill it up with sand.

Finished walking

very slowly

on this treadmill

till tomorrow.
