Bourgeois seduction
Pulls the former radical
Towards the center.
Minivan, mortgage,
Kids, steady income, comfort.
Complacent stomach.
Junction Park tai chi
Stillness within. Attacker
And self move as one.
Center at balance.
Dance of destruction graceful,
Soft, supple with trust.
There's a moral
Here somewhere. I just know it.
The leaning tree falls.
