The guy who is always at the gym

I said hello to him as he ignored me, stretching his
shapely calves, plugged in just like everyone else.
usually people notice you are talking to them.
eventually he looked up at me standing a foot away
and pulled the plugs from his ears, I have seen him
some millions of times I 've been at the gym,
it would seem to be a courtesy to say hello and
maybe even, daringly, exchange first names,
maybe even say hello the next million times I see
him at the gym, live a little, Ian, it might be
nice to say hello to a new friend.
