(はっけよい)
HAKKEYOI !
two stout armchairs squat
like Sumo wrestlers
the room holds its breath
"PUT SOME SPIRIT IN IT!"
The phrase shouted by a sumo referee during a bout, specifically when the action has stalled and the wrestlers have reached a stand-off.

What I shout when I want to tidy the room and the chairs are just locked together!
