Thump thump thump goes my heart

Thud thud thud goes my heels

It’s been long since I’d seen a treadmill,

But outside walking here not advisable

So I stare at a television on the wall,

This is tougher than pounding the pavement

And so much more boring, but

I need to get rid of some stress and so I go

A few minutes more, then that’s it.

Bed calls, it’s been a long day.
