A physical trainer at the gym
once took me aside
& began asking me philosophical questions
like, ‘How much could I dead lift?’
I don’t know, friend, I said
“I guess, we’ll have to continue this conversation at a gym in Heaven.”
& then in a twinkling
I was gone
— Never to return —
(tho’ I would continue paying monthly fees for another fourteen years)
Didn’t see it coming…
