No yes to the sweats

they were just so soft and for-
giving the other said it’s telling

the world you’ve given up maybe
you think I should maybe you think

I’m past portion plateaus plate de-
piling pedo paces push-ups and

maybe I am but for now no baggy
springy stretchy drawstring drawn

waistband comfort not ready to tell
that to the world or least of all to

myself save the sweats for if or
when I’m ready to give up or

you say ready or not it’s time.”
