Another covid test again reveals
a positive result: no training night for me
with my worldly few jiu-jitsu pals and seals
the kiss of death on Sunday's colonoscopy.
A solitary walk is all I have in store
to burn the calories I need to lose,
reducing weight and body size. What's more
important than my health? I say and choose
an early night or three and watch some reels
of Rickson Gracie's fights in early UFC
or maybe write synopses of my novel wheels
and hone my skill of locks to wrist and knee.
Perhaps I'll test again on Monday's morn
and hope then that an uninfectious me is born.
