Exercise Or Exorcise?

Hello possible, I'm on my bike, that's what they told me,
if you want to keep healthy and prolong your mystery;
get rid of bad vibes, cleanse your soul, come out whole,
only you can decide what ultimately should be your goal.

I listen to Chopin while I write, maybe discuss a book,
they said there's more than one way to try and cook;
my teacher said write something, an exercise shook,
I was told - I want this solved, however long it took.

The priest sprinkled the holy water, the gremlins disperse,
nothing like some liquid to alleviate an underlying curse;
the lillies are opening amongst the roses, badness gone,
what's happening to your bloom in your literature garden?

A friend told me that he was going south - I've lived there,
it was an exercise but now with love I'm right back here.
