Presley is my gym friend
We never see each other
outside of the mats and
apparatus but we understand
each other in a way
that no one else can
not even you
not even if you read this

Because unless you have
spent hours swinging around
a wooden bar
landing on your face
only to get up and do it again
well, to most of the world
that’s just crazy
but to those
of us inside this gym

It’s just life.

Gymnastics is my life
I have no choice
Gymnastics is my choice
I have no life.
