I don’t make my bed in the morning
and tend to wake after eleven
well, when it darkens on the outside
and inside as I stall turning on lights
The sun-blocked by concrete walls
protect a million dollar muscle
when it should cost just 10 thousand
and constructed in course of one season.
My process runs, twerks, splits & sits all day
when I’m dancing, cleaning, emailing
before a movie on Netflix
playing with blankets as my aerobics
blankets mature as workout props
hold them tight like ropes you don’t drop
wave one at a time, make it fun
shaking arms and abs getting me strong.
Stretch from legs to brain
from plans, attempts to completion
moves from matter to energy
and time –it’s much too early to sleep!
