For Show
Sweat,
from a multitude
treading, cycling, lifting.
All sculpted
and oiled for show
in form fitting
spandex and lycra.
The fit, and fine
here to improve
on perfection.
Glaring at any
flawed, or fluffy
who dare enter
mistakenly thinking
they would come
to work on, or off
old habits, and pounds.
Those come
and go.
Quickly.
Feeling uncomfortable,
but having paid.
Providing salaries
to keep the place open
for the few, the fine,
who stay year, after year,
stretching, and bending
in postures most statuesque.
