FULL BELLIED (1972)

Full bellied, 
half hearted , 
non mover. 
Such potential 
Yet so wasted 
What a body, lithe, waiting 
To show what it can do 
And you spoil it 
You and your mental slovenliness, 
Gives you a stiff neck and aching back. 
You sit in the middle of a circle. 
Every now and then pop to the edge 
Have a quick spin 
Does that excuse, or justify your lethargic? 
Sitting in the middle. 
But what of the middle space? 
Does it please you? 
And the visits to the periphery? 
Every now and then? 
Why do you sit there? 
No one forces you to occupy that space
You sit tight with the idea that soon you‘ll be more active 
That having stayed there for so long you‘ll be more active, 
You‘re wrong, 
You sit there because you‘re lazy 
You're lazy because you sit there
