OR yoga endurance: who can sit in full lotus longer?

the idea:
recreate legendary fight in oakland between bruce lee and wong jack man

“The picture that begins to emerge from this and other analyses of human genetic variation is that variation tends to be geographically structured, such that most individuals from the same geographic region will be more similar to one another than to individuals from a distant region.[57]”

not too much but some/thinking of you
and such warmth/your smell faint
fall ring a bell/have a ball/true luck
good wishes/hooks escape their fishes
a pull a rush/i’ve had enough
could be a cold and lonely world
could be a ray of light streaming
weakly stabbing/trace the cracks
contours/shades of grey
erupt into brilliance born/new day

after all these years, after you’ve left
what hidden, buried
woolen, scratchy
i hear you, i’ll listen now
i don’t want to move on
into that sea of icy glares without
i am adrift, rigging unmoored
exhaustion avoidance, flexible thinking
yet this ship is sinking, mind ringing
cough it up, spit it out, let’s have a sea
tide rush polar ice cap melt, austerity belt
chastity […]

eyes half-closed breath regulated
on the tripod base two channels circulate
seven chakras spin, the snake creeps
animus – the tension of consciousness
lengthening and settling with gravity
 
visual-eyes: a golden beam of light
burning orange bright spine parallel
stretching further than the mind permits
180 degrees a line that impossibly
(out in space) curves in on itself
to return recharge a burst of energy
 
all […]

500 miles to go
Climb the soft sandstone
And round red rock
I catch a glimpse, get a shock
When old man desert whispers
stories of our origins
the inevitable undoing
 
Approaching summit
Dry river bed snakes parallel
Boulders become slabs of slate
Grey and green — your eyes flash out at me
 
I suppose surprised
The feeling, raw
Yet the wind cools
Ice melts this thaw
Pine trees shiver […]

I’m a lucky man and confident
Take my life in my own hand
Guide and direct it
Can be a surprise and a gamble
But my watch says we got time
To get there and ramble
Not satisfied to simply go through the motions
Dissecting my habits and questioning notions
Like doing something for you
Doesn’t that do
Something for me?
And what I want is […]

to co-opt and to rebel
 
suck the heart out and leave the shell
 
stuff it down you’ll never tell
 
it falls apart, imperfect hell
 
 
it’s a hollow sound and you make it well
 
that hollow sound, you make it well
 
 
a knock at the door
 
a dog at the gate
 
a dropping pin
 
an altered state
 
 
it’s a hollow sound and you make it […]

THE CALLOUS DECADENTS are the enemy of global progress, closed-minded little “me” approach hoarding wealth building fortresses and machines of death. They will be overcome. Obviously weak and scared, ridiculous and self-serving models they promote: bio-engineering, patenting and intellectual property. Nothing more than carving it up, the privatization of everything, the […]

Adrift in k and void of culture we’re the playthings of k we call it modernity, revel in the endless distraction of it, elevate the base nature celebrate the irony we revere and enshrine laziness, complain we don’t know what to do with ourselves. We’re handing over our rights, distantly perceive our own thoughts […]

Culture Wars: branding, tracking, opinion monitoring….revolution as commodity….gentrification and racism. Presentation of/participation in sham democracy. Opposition demonized, Religious Right…apocalypse visions.

Children are regarded as possessions and have no other legal standing. They are socialized respectively in tiered systems of education over which parents and community have little control. They are […]

 
insight reason self actualization
positively self-conscious orientation

a place of calm/barriers down
tension drops/enlightenment pops

popular consciousness, a living breathing thing
silver rivers sing backwards flowing
fish ring like chimes in the watery station
resonance – the bones tumbling together
the skeletons rise to dance

observe mouth agape – broken teeth stretch
to form a gate, push on rusty hinge
burn it down – i’ll take […]

…nah I’m serious, not delirious
cold curious what you see in this
where it goes for you, how it works for you
makes sense to you – got to – adapt and survive this…

surrounded by walls the nation state
was itself a fragile picture tube

I’ve been so
Pulled apart
Sure I spent all the $
But who cares about that?
I have climbed through
The hole in my perceptions
Felt the house crash down
Around me, intention ripples
Electricity, the deed slips out
Shower of sparks and thunderclap
1 2 punch of life, rhythm of walking
pushed along, reeling in this thin cord
inhalation spins a shuttle heart bone part born
fulfillment […]

2 break your mind
cut through ripple on
fingertip tremble transcend
resound touchdown
intricate circuitry
tracks we weave
tattoo earth drumbeat
masks cast off
chip away
breath it down
the center is a spiral
turning twisting
propels explosion
nervous meltdown
tension streams liquid
but you gotta
reign it in
bob and weave
rise and sink
with gravity
catch time
pounce and ride
bucked off
roll through
get mine
