Push ups

Before it was,
13 I could do,
first shot, first pills,
then zero became true,
no more I could rise,
all riddled inside,
no lift, all stiff,
48 weeks I did try,
then on to recovery,
2 months it is taking,
but lo and behold,
13, with no shaking,
last night it all happened,
with a flourish of grace,
a little test of nerve,
sweet steel strength,
could I do it I dove,
one after another,
smooth, strong, and steady,
count loud for the mother,
yeah, I did a dance,
in my undies, all pink,
this chick is back,
each day, it's what I think.
