Yogic Art

I came across my flatmate and he was contorting

A jumbled mix of feet and arms all over the place

I whipped out my mobile and started recording

Following the modern reaction of the human race

It turns out that he was otherwise perfectly fine

Just a tiny misjudgement of the correct position

Though it did look like it was caused by wine

Nothing broken, everything was in good condition

He told it was all because of his wanderlust

He had spent the past year in an ashram

Mastering his body, learning to lunge and thrust

Controlling his breathing with Pranayam

Now he said I can do standing back bends

Stand perfectly still and do a one legged pose

I know enough asanas to teach my friends

I meditate to find respite from the world’s woes

When you found me sprawling on the ground

It was not any faulty technique on my part

It did look suspicious the way I was found

But I fell while posting to social media my yogic art
