Elliptical
Do I need help with my ass I ask Do I
need to strengthen my glutes Yes I say
For as much as you end up falling
you need to be prepared so I cycle
against the rolling foot rests I bob up
and down and run in place and breathe
like the fat man exercising that I am
I breathe like a frustrated horse I
breathe like an old refrigerator
humming as it quivers and dies no
more cool no more ice just defrosting
meat just warm hisses and dripping
sweat my thighs burn my calves burn
my lungs lie down and weep themselves
to sleep Do I really need a stronger ass
I ask Stay upright for once and we’ll see I say

I love all of your offerings this month. I love the cohesiveness. the truthfulness and the brutal humor.
HAHAHA yes! I asked my self the very same question a few weeks back because I started having some intense lower back pain
My favorite machine! But your humorous questions are exactly what I ask of the damn stair climber.
i like this poem.
the answer to the pertinent question is what is meant by “ass”
