I was required to compose a lyrical poem for English 301. I wrote this piece for my personal trainer.
Pony Tale
She
steps onto the belt
activates
and adjusts
speed
and incline,
as Pink implores
her
through
her earbuds
to "Try."
She does.
A few
nonrhythmic steps,
then the
perfect cadence,
as her
sorrel ponytail
becomes
a pendulous
windshield
wiper,
brushing
unseen schmutz
from her
shoulders.
A silken
metronome,
now
keeping time,
As
Eminem urges her
to "Lose
Herself." She does.
Flowing
free
Restrained
only
By a satin
scrunchie
and
four-four time,
swaying smoothly
as
the
plait of a champion
Dressage
horse.
