up and down and

around forever
 
the pedals spin and
the numbers go up
 
eyes glued to the screen;
they should increase faster
 
faster, as time goes on
I’m sure that’s how it works
 
exponential french curve, right?
I think (we think) in logarithms. 
 
rationality lost,
tired in a fun way (am I having fun?)
 
feels like biting hard carrots,
feels like being hungry
 
war of attrition against
time, myself
 
while meditatively focused
on making the numbers go up
