Mind and Body Strong Grasshopper

A Poem by Davidgeo
"

.

"
my mind is very sore
from exercising
on the regular
all of the bad memories
that forged me
into me. . .
like the lactic acids
that flood my tissues
after an hour or so
of some very vigorous jujitsu


"you can't grow without burning"
-- Arnold (stay hungry)

It's the Arnold quote... Arnold's f*****g fantastic (for the most part).
I like the Arnold quote. The rest of it feels more like an "I work out and am really smart so have sex with me!" elaborate paraphrasing. lol But I think the Arnold quote kind implies you were at least a little aware of it but then again.... lol

No, But I'll check it out.
Events that forge us (as a rule) happen in a flash then we spend forever polishing their existence. I can see these words in motion.
