Mr. Ab-doer, my Alien Friend

Slouched awkwardly,
forced to prop up
in front of me -
this muscle machine
called the ab-doer
intent on sandwiching
my bread rolls to four packaging

reminds me,
of a childhood alien friend
with elongated arms dangling,
and blue Styrofoam sidling
little knobs for ears -

he heals by touch
and radar signaling
phoning home.
Endlessly eating
his Reeses Pieces
favorite late evening
chocolate crispy,
peanut butter snack.
