PE Universe

​

Bright young faces sit at a tall desk

They smile and do their best to help

 

You need a towel? Sure.

So sorry the sauna isn't working today.

The pool is just the right temperature.

 

Solicitous. Community-minded. Kind.

Did their parents make them work here?

​

I don't trust exercise people

I barely survived gym class

Now, I cross train

I do circuits

I lift weights

 

I love it

Sometimes, I even transcend

​

Is it possible to lose the suspicion

Of people who gleam?
