she's got abs

she shows you her muscles.
lifts her
shirt,
and says, knocking
on the rippled
abs,
rock hard,
I do
four hundred sit ups
a day.
I run ten miles,
swim five,
bike fifty.
I'm on my second
protein shake,
coconut and lamb's
blood, garlic
and kale,
some dirt for texture.
nice, you say,
handing her a book
she might like
to read.
what's this
she says?
a book you tell her.
oh,
can you sum it up
for me,
I really don't
have the time.
