I took a week off
from hitting the gym
on doctor’s orders
and not some lame whim.
He’s fixing my toe,
at least, trying to.
He advised against
putting on a shoe.
Well a week went by
and I said “Enough.
I can go back now
since my toe feels tough.”
I was expecting
a real rough workout
since I’d gone a week
pretty much without.
Surprising enough,
it all went just fine.
My body and soul
fell right into line.
