The Athlete

	On a racecourse,
	there's a race to reach an end.
	Someone's calling
	the decathlon athlete's name.
	Further focus
	on the discipline applied
	or through constant shifts of exercise.
	Quatre cents mètres,
	saut à la perche,
	mille cinq mètres,
	cent mètres,
	saut en hauteur,
	lancer du javelot,
	du poids
	et du disque,
	cent dix mètres haies,
	saut en longueur.
	There's a battle between the athlete and himself
	and between him
	and the people there to help.
	Their incentive
	is for the pressure to conceive
	the ignition of another level of reach.
	Do I want this?
	Do I want this in my life?
	Is it worth it?
	Worth the sacrifice?
