PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Standing sideways in front of an oval mirror
brings the young football player to critiquing his
muscles critically as he notes what needs improvement
at the gym while throwing on Nike athletic
clothing with running shoes before heading out to
run another twenty miles faster than yesterday's record
not even good enough for him when he
seeks nothing shy of being better than anyone
all over the world when they are competitors
against him while he's practicing for winning every
sport available for his aggressive personality pushing him
towards being number one in everything even as
his life becomes a blur from each victorious
game trophy with his picture spattered famously with
light whiskey eyes looking purely serious while his
buzzed dark pollen hair glistens with perspiration as
another accomplishment means nothing more than his next
step to Olympic domination.
