Yoga by Zoom

by Seth Crook

Our instructor poses perfectly.
  In her box, all is poise and balance.
Ours create a gallery of unfortunate angles,
  crack-flashes, feet pointing at half faces,
yoga as if illustrated by Picasso.

"Just a few more stretches", she says.
   We're breathing incorrectly.
That is, we're wheezing correctly.
   "You're all doing so well", she adds,
adopting the Pinocchio pose.
