Fred Aiken Writing

i bought a weight bench
with the intention, at first at least,
to start working out more frequently,
maybe, i dunno, become as strong as henry cavill looks
in all those superman movies and the witcher show,
not as ruggedly handsome,
but at least strong enough to throw a small sedan
half-way across the city without a sweat,
but i don’t think i’m going to achieve that level of strength,
you know, because of a lack of dedication
