Yoga Kills

Yoga Kills

A Poem by Jasper
"

If you thought yoga was easy, you should come to my class

"

 

I’ve never seen an Eagle with its legs wrapped round like this

Or an Upward Facing Dog unless it’s squatting down to piss

I’ve never seen a Fish lie on its back unless it’s dead

And as for Inclined Hero, well, he’s better off in bed.

 

I’ve never seen a Camel stretch to such amazing height

With a face like that, that Cow looks like it can’t squeeze out a shite

I’ve never seen a Scorpion fall ungracefully from its pose

Or a Locust flat out on the floor just resting on its nose

 

I’ve never seen a Tree quite so unsteady on its feet

Or a Cobra grunt and curse and sweat as it bites down on its meat

I’ve never seen a Corpse appear so healthy and content

Or a Warrior primed for battle look so old and hurt and bent

 

And as for Wind Releasing Posture, just one thing to note

I’d better get my coat.

 

Nameste
