Rodney Yee might be surprised,he of the long dark braid and yoga DVD,
when at the point his soothing voice
instructs me in the living room
to find my center, listen to surroundings
as my body sinks into the earth upon
my rubber yoga mat (it's pink), that over
ocean waves behind him on some rocky
shore it's difficult to cancel out the
blaring from behind the bathroom
door as current hit provides the background
track to lengthy shower for a teenage girl.
A little boy with headphones on computer game
complete with shouts and laughs is also
not to be ignored as heaviness of legs is
duly noted. Keeping my face soft,
I make my torso long, then rise to face the day.
