junction park tai chi
weight fifty left, fifty right,
a little more on

the heel than the ball
of the foot. relax your knees.
stationary hips.

move from the belly.
gently rotate from side to
side, arms following.

now pung your left arm,
a little more, pung like hell.
drop your shoulders now.

get your head on straight.
tongue on the roof of your mouth,
teeth lightly touching.

open up your chest.
you can't get your head on straight
if your heart is closed.

hold your hand like this,
this extended, those relaxed.
keep motion constant.

now... remember to

RELAX
YOUR
EARLOBES.

Aughhhhh!
