i prepared for work
i fixed lunch, ate breakfast
and rushed for traffic
i drove at 35 miles per hour
a forty-five minute drive to work
i paced myself to my office
and cooned to morning coffee

and peddled to do work
i greeted my students with a smile
and at the end of day
i met evening traffic
pacing myself home
to study homework
to eat dinner and go to bed
my daily routine

I watch I see I glance I turn I flee
I dance I fight I fly I drive I sing
I yawn I sigh I slow I loll I sleep

Tick tock tick

Tick tock tick tock
Hands to the button
Legs to the floor
Weary body to the shower

Tick tock tick tock
Hands to the cupboard
Legs into clothes
Slumbering body to breakfast

Tick tock tick tock
Hands to the door
Legs out of the house
Half awaken body to the car

Tick tock tick tock
Hands to the laptop
Legs crossed beneath
Body settling down for the requisite hours

Tick tock tick tock
Hands to research
Legs crossing and uncrossing
Body moving humming in thought

Tick tock tick tock
Hands ready to leave
Legs turning enthusiastically to the door
Spirited body sprinted to the elevator

Tick tock tick tock
Hands in his
Legs turned to him
Body leaning over

Tick tock tick tock
Hands to button
Legs to the floor
Weary body again in slumber

Tick tock tick tock
And so it goes
Tick tock tick.

i think as i wake up
at exactly 6:30 am
is when i get up
the sun sets
as i get in my car
after i take care of the cats
a half hour isn’t too far.

school starts at 8am
a break follows
for ten minutes i breath
to break the sorrow
who knew
an untold story
bringing unto
in the walls of its core

where to go but too my other class
unfortunately
i’m blocked by this huge mass
finished and tired
i drive passed a field of flowers
repeating the morning tonight
i wake up

only 15 more hours

I want to get back
To my old weight
The old weight I wasn’t satisfied with
The old weight that I thought was too much
I want to get back there
So I restrict my diet
Almost no sugar
No fruit
No bread
Just meat and vegetables and beans
Every meal in constant repetition
If I want carbs
Sweet sweet sweet carbs
I have to lift
I sit on various machines of torture
And I lift weights with my arms
My legs
My shoulders
My back
So that I can follow that up
With a sandwich and a banana
How much weight am I losing
How much muscle am I adding
Will it take six months
A year
Two years
More
I keep working
I keep eating
By
The
Rules
Because I want to get back
