Ode to Treadmill

 

I think about you often

The runs I used to do

But now you just sit lonely

Because I neglect you.

  

I’m eating too many cookies

And chunks of Toblerone

And if I could just run on you

I’d get back in the zone.

  

I hope it won’t be long

Before we’re reunited

It’s just that I’m so tired

And can’t-quit-hacking-up-gross-stuff-from-my-chest-or-get-back-any-energy-and-who-can-think-about-running-when-you-could-be-sleeping.

  

Love, Berry Girl.
