Punch Drain

Deep breath in, deep breath out
Hands to heart, let go of doubt
Palms to the sky, namaste calm
My voice is peace, my words are balm

Forward fold, reach for your toes
Exhale slow, let the tension go
Now twist your spine, shoulders crack
Hold it longer-don't come back
Lift your chest, breathe through fire
Stretch until your lungs conspire
Knees apart, hands behind
Peace is pain inside the mind

Deeper, lower, hold the pose
Crush your ribs, let silence close
Flex, extend, no retreat
Feel the tremor in your feet

Stretch 'til you snap, bones in prayer
Twist like rope, break the air
Stretch 'til you snap, necks collide
Bend in ways God denied

Touch your toes... behind your head
Breathe in deep, snap bones like bread
Karen can't, she's weak, she's fake
Force that split, feel it break
Backbend raw, spine exposed
Yoga mats become your throes
Crow pose fall, teeth hit ground
Peace is gone, pain is found

Inhale stillness, exhale screams
Meditation rips at seams
Namaste is not your friend
This serenity won't defend

Lungs collapse, stretch beyond
Arms dislocate, legs abscond
Snap your spine, twist your wrist
This is wellness, exorcist
Voices rise, the class combusts
Yoga turns to ash and dust
Karen shrieks, the silence cracks
Everyone folds, no one comes back

Lie down flat, corpse on the floor
Breath is gone, you stretch no more
Close your eyes, don't give a damn
Relaxation is a scam
