Spot me?

(Okay.)

(I should ask.)

(I will ask.)

(...I will ask.)

Alright, this is... not a solo weight

I should get a spot-yes, that's great

There's people right there, I could just say

"Hey, quick spot?" in a normal way

But they look focused, mid-set, intense

And I'm not trying to be... a disruption event

I'll wait one second, let them finish up

I'm patient-yeah-super patient-yup

Okay they're lifting, okay they're stretching

Okay they're texting (that's still... something)

They've got headphones, they're in the zone

Interrupting feels like a crime in a gym code

I'll just time it right, quick and neat

Like a polite little tap-and-retreat

I should ask for a spot, I know

But they look busy, so I won't-hello

I don't want to interrupt their vibe

I'll just... do a lighter set (I lied)

I should ask for a spot, it's true

But I'm not trying to be an issue

If this goes wrong, I'll handle it cool

Quietly. Respectfully. Like a fool.

Okay-setup done-act casual now

Grip feels... weird? That's fine somehow

First rep moves-okay, we're alive

Second rep-slower, but still... a vibe

Third rep-huh. That sound is new

Fourth rep-why is it shaking too?

I'm fine, I'm good, I'm totally calm

That was not me. That was... ambiance.

I could ask now, quick and small

But what if they say "sure" and I... fall?

Also they're mid-text, that's important work

Also I'm already here, so... let's commit to the perk

Smile neutral, pretend it's light

If I look confident, I might become it, right?

I should ask for a spot, I know

But they look busy, so I won't-hello

I don't want to interrupt their flow

So I'll just... breathe through this (oh no)

I should ask for a spot, it's true

But I'm not trying to be an issue

If this goes wrong, I'll handle it cool
