She took her time committing to the work,
but now she’s gym-bound twice a week or more.
She learned the benefits – she’s not a jerk –
but won’t apply the lesson. I’d implore
about home yoga, but she’ll just ignore
at best; or worse, she’ll bristle and resent,
preferring all those other friends who meant
to coddle disability with care.
I think she’s well enough, but I’ll relent –
I know my words won’t move her anywhere.
