A Man for All Seasons

He was a hard gainer and a sore loser,

A personal trainer and a distant boozer.

He liked his fruit forward and his coffee black.

“Fresh Air,” too, but not Click and Clack.

The Yoga Novice's Lament

I'm a stinka at astanga
and can't hold this pose much longa.
From lunch I feel some bloat
when I try to do the boat.

Ode to Id

There are days one must just get through,
though some poets disagree,
and times that are not meant to be enjoyed.
There is news to be perused,
not passionate, not confused,
and thoughts that one is better to avoid.

-A.C.K.
