Sunday 6 February 2011: HARD
Body kept in shape.
Body to be proud of.
Fit. Hard. Body
in its prime.
Body kept in shape.
Light on its feet.
See it run.
Punishing itself.
Body kept in shape.
Oblivious to cold.
Heat. Light-fingered.
Watch it.
Body kept in shape.
Lithe. Neat. Catch
it. Red-handed.
Punish it.
Body kept in shape.
Body kept in.
Body in its prime.
Doing time.
