there’s something to be said for
complete physical exhaustion<\/p>\n

when I get home from a day of club riding
because I am not in the best of health\/shape
I go thru this series of awareness as I warm up
and relax<\/p>\n

first it’s the relief <\/span>
over the idea that your fingers <\/span>
are all still there
and the end of your nose <\/span>
is not frostbitten <\/span>
in spite of how freakin cold <\/span>
you thought is was<\/p>\n

then as you warm up
the lethargy seeps in…
slowly
slowly
you settle in<\/p>\n

you find it hard to cross you legs
your arm falls off the rest
your eyes flutter lower and lower<\/p>\n

and all of a sudden you jolt awake
and discover all them muscles <\/span>
that you haven’t used
since this time last year<\/p>\n

do ya suppose if the doctor gave me permission
I’d actually “work out”? <\/span><\/p>\n

or have I had too many years of waiting
too many years of the dr’s saying
maybe next month…
and maybe next season…<\/span>

till one day ya wake up a fat bald 50 old
with no one to blame but your health <\/span>

hardly seems fair
do it? <\/span>
<\/span>
all my life I’ve heard people say…<\/span>
“but inside I’m only 21\/17\/40”<\/span>
<\/span>
I don’t feel like that<\/span>
<\/span>
I feel like I earned every damn year<\/span>
and I know I earned every damn lb…<\/span>
<\/span>
oh well<\/span>
the eyes are starting to droop again<\/span>
and I’m likely to heat for the rack<\/span>
8:30 at night<\/span>
and I am going to bed<\/span>
<\/span>
shit…I AM old.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
