Work Out by Julie Morrison
Work: energy transferred to or from an object via the application of force along a displacement
-Wikipedia
Work…work…work…
from hi-ho to hip hop
we’re remanded by culture—
commanded— to
work: at, over, on,
programs, schedules, places.
Must we also work out?
Must we refer to exercise
as we might a kidney stone?
I’ll pass.
Physics tells us work is a transfer—
not a trade—
so, why put ourselves out?
And, out of what?
From what ‘in’ do we get ‘out’
when we work?
Can we not play?
At, over, on, and out?
Play is recreation:
why not re-create ourselves—
programs, schedules, places—
rather than forcing them?
Picture: ‘Today’s an upper body play out’—
cue images:
windmills, waves, wind socks—
sock puppets to port de bras—
more grin, less grunt—
people, play with me here.
