Things that i'll never do

stop counting calories

i've grown a built in
calculator,like a censor
to any thought of excess
since i was fat and l5

be able to bounce
the proverbial quarter
off my non trampeline tummy
80 pounds gained
x2
little bundles of joy
killed the notion
forever, and stretch
marks are etchings
of a life lived arent they?

sit for longer than a
few minutes, all the
mediation, all the
yoga, all the breathing
if i sit i get rootrot
and secretary squat
and i'm not going into
the hearse taking up
two spots,with a jello
behind and

sit in a coffin at
all, really, and
let vines encircle my
soul on ice, i sat
too long confined
on a shelf for the past
decade, im blowing
seeds in the wind,
planting trees along
the way

ever ever, never will
i let this 25 year old
next to me last longer
on this treadmill, i may
be taken out on a
stretchter, but it
aint gonna happen
unless i trip her up
instead

You sound like you have everything under control.

Thanks for this, it was fun to read.
