I weave in and out  
of black asphalt  
grey medians  
and raised sidewalk.  
  
After a long day  
of raising humans  
setting the bar at work  
and racing about the town  
I'm off on a circuit of my own.  
  
I am encircling  
and crossing back  
over my path  
on an undulating cycle.  
  
I am on a quest  
to complete my Circles.  
I wanna reach   
that little satisfaction  
of a feasible To-Do,  
that I've To-Done.  
  
With much expectation  
and mixed with elation  
I hit that molecular moment  
where my Stand, Move and  
Exercise goals align at high noon.  
  
My wrist vibrates,   
haptic applause.  
I look down in haste  
to glimpse the full effect.  
  
Fireworks shoot forth   
from my lime, raspberry   
and aqua bullseye.  
A celebration in miniature.  
  
Despite my claimed achievement,  
I keep walking in loose circles.  
Time for a little victory lap,   
I reason.
