the weight lifter

the weight lifter
needs mirrors, for how
else would
he know where his days
have gone.
each muscle an hour,
each bead
of sweat drained
into gallons.
but is he no different
in lifting bar bells
than we are with our books,
lining them on
shelves
to be dusted and seen
below picture framed
degrees.
