Start slow...
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; warming... up...and...below
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; forty five degrees
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to the left...right...others go nineties...
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; some freeze...from locked knees
&nbsp;&nbsp; they don't mind...they'll recover
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;before the hour is over...

Detach self
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;from what
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; surrounds
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; but...still aware
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;connected...
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;agitation
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;soon to be lessened 
&nbsp;&nbsp; eventually....calmed

Focus...
&nbsp;&nbsp; exercise
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; stabilize
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;synchronize
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;visualize
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; internalize
&nbsp;&nbsp;energize! 

Endure!
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; An ant bites at the back of your ear
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; something's&nbsp;&nbsp;crawling on your tummy
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; beads of sweat, drop across your eyes,
 or inside your ear...you feel the cold touch within
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
A bee, a wasp...sometimes, a fly
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;circles very near your face
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; makes your wall of 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;concentration, crumble
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;tempting you to lose count
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;of the movements
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;testing you...
&nbsp;&nbsp; if you might still stray...even
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a step away...
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;if, to your weaknesses
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;you would still succumb

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;will you be distracted?
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; or stay focused?

Let eyes, and mind blink
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; One...two...three...quickly! 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;be grounded!
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;stay on the right track.....

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Exercise! 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ...visualize....
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ... internalize.....
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ...never give up!

left leg, in the yellow dot, right arm in the red 
keep concentrating with every spin
now you left arm through your legs behind you to a
blue dot, the next spin may make you fall over ,
in a tangle of arms legs and giggles,
playing twister. It happens in real life tai chi and the imagination

Namaste.
