PC Police. That's disrespectful of religion. You're busted. Up against the wall, hands behind your back.

CLINK.

All right, now we're going to beat the s**t out of you until you tell us where you got that website.

well
that's new and different
and really funny
for me
because it doesn't offend my cherished beliefs
whatever those are
but I'm sure you'll get hate mail from someone
especially with a funny name like Karma :-)

AT THE GYM

by Mark Doty



This salt-stain spot
marks the place where men
lay down their heads,
back to the bench,

and hoist nothing
that need be lifted
but some burden they've chosen
this time: more reps,

more weight, the upward shove
of it leaving, collectively,
this sign of where we've been:
shroud-stain, negative

flashed onto the vinyl
where we push something
unyielding skyward,
gaining some power

at least over flesh,
which goads with desire,
and terrifies with frailty.
Who could say who's

added his heat to the nimbus
of our intent, here where
we make ourselves:
something difficult

lifted, pressed or curled,
Power over beauty,
power over power!
Though there's something more

tender, beneath our vanity,
our will to become objects
of desire: we sweat the mark
of our presence onto the cloth.

Here is some halo
the living made together.
