The Way

Be like water
Fluid, adaptable
Ready to absorb
And seep through matter
At a moment’s notice.

Study the cat
Alert, tense.
The curvature of the back
Set to recoil
As the spine snaps
Back into shape.

Limber up with exercise
Loose callisthenics.
Stretch, Kata
An upturned palm
Beckons smoothly.

Breathe.
Inhale from the solar plexus.
Life energy, Chi
Fills the lungs.

Explode like a one-inch punch!
Clinical and deadly.
Ruthless as a cobra.
